METHOD FOR DETECTING ESCHERICHIA COLI

摘要

Described herein are methods of detecting an infection and for detecting the
presence or absence of microorganisms, for example, wound pathogens in a
sample, by contacting a sample with an enzyme produced and/or secreted by the
bacteria, and detecting modification or the absence of modification of the
substrate, as an indicator of the presence or absence of the enzyme in the
sample. The present invention also features a biosensor for detecting the
presence or absence of bacteria in a sample.
