    摘要: A method and device for determining the presence and concentration of total microbial contamination or the presence and concentration of a specific microbial species on a surface is described. The method consists of a means of a collection device and fluid for removing the microbes from the surface and suspending them in a fluid phase. An aliquot of the fluid phase is introduced into a disposable test ticket which allows filtration of the sample to remove extraneous substances including somatic cells, and concentration of the microbes. The total concentration of microbes is determined by adding a somatic and bacterial releasing reagent to a disposable test device which comprises a membrane containing the luminescent reagents luciferin and luciferase, and introducing the disposable test device into a luminometer that can read the luminescence from the underside.

    摘要: A method for determining the presence and concentration of total microbial contamination or the presence and concentration of a specific microbial species on a surface is described. The method consists of a means of a collection device and fluid for removing the microbes from the surface and suspending them in a fluid phase. An aliquot of the fluid phase is introduced into a disposable test device which allows filtration of the sample to remove extraneous substances including somatic cells, and concentration of the microbes. The total concentration of microbes is determined by adding a bacterial releasing reagent and a luminescent reagent to the disposable test device and introducing the disposable test device into a luminometer that can read the luminescence from the side wall. The presence and concentration of specific microbial species is determined by adding an aliquot of the fluid phase described above to the dispoable test device, washing the sample, then adding a specific labeled antibody directed against the microbes to be detected to the test device, washing then adding a luminescent reagent to the disposable test device. The test device is then introduced into the luminometer. The relative light units determine the presence and quanity of microbes present. In both cases, the microbe is identified and/or the concentration is determined in less than 1 hour and generally in less than 5 minutes.

    摘要: A method for the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of bacterial infections is disclosed which comprises the treatment of an individual with an effective amount of a native or modified version of a lytic enzyme produced by a bacteria infected with a bacteriophage specific for said bacteria. The lytic enzyme is selected from a group consisting of shuffled lytic enzymes, chimericlytic enzymes, wherein the lytic enzyme is in an environment having a pH which allows for activity of said lytic enzyme; and a carrier for delivering said lytic enzyme. Additionally, a holin enzyme for puncturing the membrane may be included in the composition. This method, and composition can be used for the treatment of upper respiratory infections, skin infections, wounds, and burns, vaginal infections, eye infections, intestinal disorders and dental problems.
