Abstract

See full text

A kit for detecting live cells of a microorganism in a test sample by distinguishing the live cells from dead cells or injured cells by a nucleic acid amplification method includes the following components:

    1) an agent capable of covalently binding to DNA or RNA of the microorganism by irradiation with light having a wavelength of 350 nm to 700 nm;2) an agent for suppressing a nucleic acid amplification inhibitory substance; and3) a primer or primers for amplifying a target region of the DNA or RNA of the microorganism to be detected by a nucleic acid amplification method. The agent for suppressing a nucleic acid amplification inhibitory substance is one or more selected from albumin, dextran, T4 gene 32 protein, acetamide, betaine, dimethyl sulfoxide, formamide, glycerol, polyethylene glycol, soybean trypsin inhibitor, α2-macroglobulin, tetramethylammonium chloride, lysozyme, phosphorylase and lactate dehydrogenase.
