Bacterial skin infections in dogs often result from an underlying immune disorder. The most common predisposing causes include allergies (inhalant/contact, food, and/or flea bite).acterial skin infections often occur in dogs secondarily to underlying skin allergies, hormonal (endocrine) disorders, or other internal disease. Through a combination of shampoo therapy and antibiotics, the prognosis for your dog's recovery from a bacterial skin infection is excellent.
Clinical chemistry analyzers run assays on clinical samples such as blood serum, plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid to detect the presence of analytes relating to disease or drugs. Clinical chemistry analyzers are used in a variety of settings, including small clinics, research labs, and high-throughput hospital labs. They are also used at the point-of-care, such as in physiciansâ offices and patient bedsides.
The use of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA, provides an economical, rapid and highly sensitive method for screening a large number of samples. ELISA can be used to detect and quantitate peptides, proteins or antibodies.The assay is based upon an antigen-antibody interaction and subsequent enzymatic action on a substrate yielding a soluble colored product. Variations of the basic method exist for specialized applications. A basic method is outlined below.otes. It may be required to optimize the amount of a reagent in the assay by performing a checkerboard titration. This is accomplished by serial dilution of one reagent across the plate and serial dilution of the other reagent down the plate.
