ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method for growth detection and identification of microorganisms in a culture medium comprising providing a culture medium comprising a solubilized oxygen-quenchable phosphorescent compound, inoculating said culture medium with a substrate suspected of being associated with one or more microorganism, and detecting microorganism growth and identifying said microorganism by causing said phosphorescent compound to phosphoresce and observing quenching of oxygen in said culture of said compound.
