Abstract
The presence of .beta.-lactam antibiotics in test material such as food, infusions, vaccines, blood for transfusion, body fluids, etc. may be determined by: seeding a nutrient medium with a .beta.-lactamase generating bacterium or spores thereof; applying a sample of said test material to a site on the so-called nutrient medium; then incubating the medium under conditions inducive to the generation of .beta.-lactamase by said bacteria; and assaying the .beta.-lactamase thus produced.
