METHODS AND KITS FOR THE DETECTION OF BIOTOXIC AND ANTIBIOTIC RESIDUES

摘要

The invention provides a kid for the detection of antibiotic residues comprising inducible bacterial spores which produce an induced enzyme after germination and induction; a germinant that triggers rapid germination of said spores; an inducer that triggers the production of the specific enzyme of interest; a substrate upon which said enzyme acts; and, a detector of the activity of said enzyme on said substrate.
