METHOD OF PERFORMING CONFIRMATORY TESTS BY FLUOROCHROME SUBSTRATES IN INDICATORS OF FECAL CONTAMINATION OR POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC BACTERIA

摘要

The invention relates to a method of performing confirmatory tests by fluorochrome substrates in indicators of fecal contamination or potentially pathogenic bacteria, based on that onto a moistened adsorption matrix saturated with a fluorochrome substrate there is transfered from a selective culture medium an incubated membrane filter with colonies of microorganisms which upon further cultivation for 1 to 4 hours at an optimal temperature for the microorganisms in question is exposed to U.V. rays of a wave length of 350 to 370 nm.
