ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for single-step extraction and detection of ATP levels from microbial cells. The disclosed compositions are formulated to efficiently elicit bioluminescent detection of ATP among a broad variety of different microorganisms using a common single-step reagent composition. Additional luminescence-based methods are provided for identifying other useful extracting agents or for screening compounds for their pharmaceutical or biological effects on microbial cells.
