METHOD FOR PRE-TREATMENT OF SAMPLES CONTAINING IN ADDITION TO MICROORGANISMS OTHER BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL

摘要

A method for pre-treatment of samples containing microorganisms and other biological material for use in rapid analysis of microorganisms in which the sample before the analysis is treated with some agent which lyses specifically non-microbiological cells and in which the microorganisms are separated from other biological material by means of equilibrium centrifugation in density gradients.
