ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting, identifying, and enumerating microbes in biological and non-biological samples includes the steps of combining the sample with a triggerable chemiluminescent compound specifically susceptible to the initiation of chemiluminescent decomposition by at least one microbial enzyme in the sample and detecting and integrating light emission over an extended period of time as an indication of the presence, identification, or enumeration of the microbes in the sample.
