  • Methods for rapid microbial detection
    Patent number: 5498525
    Abstract: A method of testing for target bacteria involves adding bacteriophage to a sample to infect the bacteria in the sample; killing extracellular bacteriophage without at the same time killing phage-infected bacteria; amplifying bacteriophage remaining in the sample; and causing the bacteriophage to infect reporter bacteria and thereby produce an observable signal. The reporter bacteria are genetically engineered to have an indicator gene which on expression gives rise to a detectable signal, wherein expression of the indicator gene is initiated on bacteriophage infection of the bacteria.
