METHOD FOR MICROORGANISM ADHESIVE POTENTIAL RAPID TEST Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C12Q1/02 G01N33/50 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves the preliminary sorption of a specific ligand in polystyrene tray wells; the above ligand is specified in: haemoglobin, myoglobin, collagen, fibrinogen, fibronectin, immunoglobulin A; that is followed by adding a microorganism cell suspension into the tray wells with the sorbed ligand, incubating the cell suspension in the tray wells for 15 minutes, sampling a suspension aliquot from the well and adding it to wells of another or the same tray containing 0.5% sodium chloride or 0.2 M sodium phosphate; the bacterial cell adhesion is assessed by measuring a decrease of the optical density of the prepared diluted suspensions at wave length 600 nm as compared to the well references free from ligands.

EFFECT: invention is characterised by a high test rate of the microorganism adhesion to ligands of various nature, high reproducibility, using a minimum amount of the microorganism biomass, with no need for hazardous chemicals to be used.
