ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to methods for the detection of low numbers of a particular microorganism or microorganisms from a mixed population, the method comprising exposing the sample to a solid support to which antibodies specific for the organism(s) are adsorbed and either growing the bound organism(s) to a detectable level followed by immunoassay or releasing the organisms from the support followed by growth on a non-selective medium and observation of the resultant colonies. The invention also relates to test kits for performing these methods.
