ABSTRACT:
A method for the detection of at least one polyamine associated with bacterial infection, which comprises contacting a sample suspected of containing polyamine-associated bacteria in aqueous medium at alkaline pH with indigo carmine and dimethyl sulfoxia and observing whether a blue color develops in five minutes indicating the presence of polyamine.
