摘要
Lytic bacteriophages and "Disruptor" 4610 filters made of nanoalumina fibers were used for specific determination of determination of bacterial contamination by ATP assay. As a model system the system of bacteriophage T4-E. coli B was used as a model object. Modifications of the method allow either the quantitative detection of E. coli B with a detection limit as low as 1.0 x 10(3) CFU/ml or detection of E. coli B in the presence of 60-fold excess of S. typhimurium. Both modifications showed much better performance than the standard methods based on the use of bacteriophage T4. The increase in testing time was insignificant.
