Provided are assays or methods for identifying antibodies that bind to microorganisms, e.g., pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria other infectious agents. In some embodiments, the provided methods for identifying an antibody that binds the target microorganism involves gel encapsulation of antibody-producing cells in gel microdroplets with a target microorganism. Also provided are antibodies produced by the method. Also provided are antibodies that bind a conserved region or epitope across variants or species of Acenitobacter . |
