Abstract
A detection method (1) for antibiotic-resistant microorganisms (2), in which at least one specific substance (3) which is broken down by an antibiotic resistance-causing enzyme (8) of the microorganism (2) is added to the sample (5), the enzyme (8) present triggers a reaction (4), and the reaction (4) involves generation of an optically detectable reaction product (6) near the resistant microorganism (2) that is subsequently detected in an optical detection method (7).
Claims15
A method (1) for detecting at least one of microorganisms (2) or properties of the microorganisms, the method comprising:
- adding at least one specific substance (3) which triggers a reaction (4) of the microorganism (2) to be detected to a sample (5) in which the microorganisms (2) are to be detected,
- the reaction (4) resulting in generation of an optically detectable reaction product (6),
- subsequently optically detecting the optically detectable reaction product in an optical detection method (7), and
- keeping the reaction product (6) in spatial proximity to the reacting microorganism (2) until optical detection.
