  • Method for Detecting and Quantifying Microorganisms
    Publication number: 20130316333
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting at least one microorganism in a sample, including: cultivating the sample in a liquid medium in the presence of at least one specific ligand of the microorganism, and at least one scavenger having a lower affinity to the microorganism than the ligand, the binding of a compound to the ligand producing a first measurable signal and the binding of a compound to the scavenger producing a second measurable signal; determining the values of the first and second signals for at least one cultivation period; wherein it is deduced that the sample includes the microorganism when the values of the first signal and second signal are different for the same cultivation period.
