| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a microbiological assay kit and method for detecting antibacterial compounds in a specimen, particularly useful for food and dairy industry. Said method comprises the steps of : a) admixing said specimen with viable bacteria exhibiting enhanced sensitivity to said antibacterial compound to form a mixture ; b) incubating said mixture under optimal growth conditions; c) diluting said mixture with an aqueous solution of signal generating reagents especially selected to detect at least one metabolic marker, existing in said bacteria; d) incubating said mixture (c) for sufficient time for said signal to be detected; e) measuring or detecting said signal in said mixture (c); f) comparing said signal to a control specimen, free of said antibacterial compound, which was simultaneously subjected to said steps (a) to (e). n |
