PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the rapid resuscitation, growth, capture and detection of microorganisms. SOLUTION: A method and system for the detection and identification of a target pathogen in a sample is disclosed. The method and system involve the use of a capture matrix throughout resuscitation, growth, and detection, The method includes the steps of: placing the sample in a sampling container containing a medium (preferably a growth/resuscitation medium): optionally homogenizing the sample: placing a capture matrix in the sampling container with the sample; incubating the sample in the medium for a predetermined amount of time at an appropriate temperature; optionally removing the capture matrix from the sampling container; and detecting the presence of the target pathogen in the sample.
