Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a novel method that can quantify diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria in a test sample. The present invention relates to a method of quantifying diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria in a test sample, including a step of quantifying the diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria, using, as an index, the amount of diaminopimelic acid derived from the diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria in the test sample.
Claims5
A method of determining a bacterial count of diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria in a test sample containing diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria and diaminopimelic acid-free bacteria, comprising:
- a step of determining a bacterial count of the diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria, using, as an index, an amount of diaminopimelic acid derived from the diaminopimelic acid-containing bacteria in the test sample,
- wherein the test sample is a food, a pharmaceutical, a cosmetic, or a raw material of any of these products.
