| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed to methods, devises and kits for separating, accumulating, characterizing and/or identifying microorganisms known to be present or that may be present in a test sample. The method of the invention comprises optional lysing non-microorganism cells and/or particulates that may be present in a test sample, followed by a subsequent filtration step for isolation and/or accumulation of microorganisms. In one embodiment, a filtration and sample transfer device is used for isolation and/or accumulation of microorganisms by filtration. Once the microorganisms have been filtered for isolation and/or accumulation microorganisms, the isolated and/or accumulated microorganisms can be analyzing to acquire measurements for the characterization and/or identification of said microorganisms. |
