摘要 |
A method for assaying a specimen for the presence of a substance capable of inhibiting de novo biomolecular synthesis in a test microorganism, which comprises: exposing a cell wall permeability-enhanced test microorganism exhibiting delayed de novo synthesis of said biomolecule to said specimen, and assaying the extent of inhibition of synthesis of said biomolecule in said microorganism. A kit is described for performing the method, as well as a reaction mixture for performing the technique.
