Abstract
Provided is a new bacteriolysis method capable of bacteriolysing multiple species of bacteria and making bacteriolysis treatment more efficient and faster. A bacteriolysis method for lysing multispecies bacterial groups in a specimen, wherein bacteriolysis of multispecies bacterial groups is made possible by a step that reacts a specimen with a surfactant and lytic enzyme in a liquid and bacteriolyses the multispecies bacterial groups present in the specimen.
Claims21
A method of lysing a group of two or more species of bacteria including at least one or more species of Gram-positive bacteria and/or Gram-negative bacteria in a sample, comprising the step of treating the sample with a solution containing a surfactant and a bacteriolysis enzyme, wherein the surfactant is selected from amine oxides and quaternary ammoniums.
