ABSTRACT:
An enzyme substrate which includes a target portion and a marker portion, hydrolysis of the substrate leading to separation of the target portion from the marker portion, and the target portion being specific for the enzyme activity being assayed. A formulation containing at least one such substrate, and a method for detecting the bacterial speciesPseudomonas aeruginosais also disclosed. The target portion of the substrate is specific for β-alanine aminopeptidase activity and the marker portion is a compound which reveals whether a hydrolysis reaction has taken place or not. The invention is particularly applicable in the field of diagnosis.
