Title:
REAGENT COMPOSITION FOR DETECTING β-LACTAMASE, DETECTION KIT AND DETECTION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/040008
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a reagent composition for detecting β-lactamase which contains 3-[2,4-dinitrostyryl]-7-(2-thienylacetamido)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid or 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(1-carboxy-1-methylethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-(2,4-dinitrostyryl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid as a substrate for detecting β-lactamase together with at least one β-lactamase inhibitor selected from among clavulanic acid, aztreonam, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and cloxacillin and by which β-lactamase can be quickly and easily identified at a high sensitivity. Moreover, a detection kit containing the above detection reagent composition and a method of detecting β-lactamase comprising contacting a liquid specimen containing the subject to be analyzed with the above composition are provided.
