METHOD AND DIAGNOSTIC KIT FOR DETERMINATION OF BACTERIA

摘要

Biotinylated species or genus specific bacteriophage and an aqueous suspension of solid phase avidinylated particles labeled with an indicator enzyme such as horseradish peroxidase are contacted with a test sample and complex with any organisms of the species or genus specific bacteria in the sample. The complex is separated, preferably by filtration, from smaller size particles and a color developing reagent is applied to the filtration medium. Development of color is indication bacteria of the specific type are present in the sample tested.
