<p>A method of detecting micro-organisms in a sample comprising culturing the sample in a growth medium, and detecting the presence in the cultured sample of an indicator enzyme associated with growth of the micro-organisms is characterised in that the growth medium contains both PTS and non-PTS carbon and energy source compounds, and in that the initial concentration of the compounds together in the medium is not substantially greater than 20 gdm-3.</p> |
