ABSTRACT:
A plate of suitable nutrient medium and agar is inoculated with bacteria from a biological sample. Bacterial colonies are cultured on the plate and are then overlaid with a soft agar layer containing bacterial lysing agents. A removable sheet with bound first animal antibodies for cholera toxin is used to contact the overlaid lysed colonies. The sheet is then exposed to a second animal antibody to cholera toxin followed by treatment with a third animal antibody against the second animal antibody, said third animal antibody being coupled to an enzyme capable of generating a chromophoric product. The sheet is then developed by immersion in a substrate and system for the bound enzyme to produce chromophoric products at the sites of enterotoxigenic bacterial colonies.
