  • Title: [Luminescent cytochemical methods of detecting microorganisms].
    Author: Ivanovskaia NP, Osin NS, Khramov EN, Zlobin VN.
    Journal: Vestn Ross Akad Med Nauk; 1999; (8):33-8. PubMed ID: 10487121.
    Abstract:
    The paper shows that the luminescence cytochemical technique can be used for identification of microorganisms and microbiological synthesis products. The method is based on the interaction of specific fluorescence probes (ANS, terbium ions, and beta-diketonate complexes of europium, as well as metal-containing porphyrines) with major microbial intracellular components and toxins. Unlike classical microbiological, immunochemical or biochemical methods of detection, the proposed method has a reasonable versatility, specificity, sensitivity, rapid action, and possible automation.
