| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for identifying bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a sample that may contain bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group, a reaction medium comprising at least one fluorescent phosphatidylcholine phospholipase C (PC-PLC) substrate and an inhibitor of Gram-negative bacteria; (b) inoculating the reaction medium with the sample; (c) incubating the inoculated reaction medium; and (d) identifying the bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group by detecting the PC-PLC substrate hydrolysis reaction, in which the pH of the reaction medium and the time necessary for detecting the PC-PLC substrate hydrolysis reaction are adapted such that said hydrolysis reaction by bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group is detected before hydrolysis of the PC-PLC substrate by any Gram-positive bacteria other than those belonging to the Bacillus cereus group, that may be present in the sample. |
