Title:
REAGENTS FOR COUNTING MYCOBACTERIA, METHOD THEREFOR, AND METHOD FOR TESTING DRUG SENSITIVITY OF MYCOBACTERIA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/053096
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A technique for counting mycobacteria by which changes in mycobacterial count during culture can be monitored with the passage of time so that drug sensitivity tests can be completed within a short period of time. Specifically, reagents for counting mycobacteria characterized by containing an ingredient which reacts with ATP and thus emits light, a method involving the step of adding the above reagent to a sample containing mycobacteria and measuring the light emission, and an apparatus for effecting this method.
