ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus useful for the detection of an unknown microorganism such as a bacterium in a liquid nutritive medium comprising a tube adapted to receive a portion of a nutritive liquid medium containing an unknown bacterium and means for sealing off said tube and a test strip comprising at least one liquid reactive surface capable of being immersed in said liquid medium, said surface containing nutritive elements complementary to the nutritive elements in the liquid medium and a reagent which reacts with said bacterium, said reagent being incapable of inhibiting growth of said specimen and being non-toxic to said specimen, and at least one vapor-reactive surface incapable of being immersed in the liquid medium when said reactive surface is immersed in the liquid medium, said surface containing reagents which are toxic to said bacterium and react on contact with vapors emitted by the liquid medium due to the presence of the bacterium contained thereon.
The invention also provides a novel method for detecting a bacterium, a test strip and a flexible cover for glass containers.
