Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for rapid detection of microorganisms in a sample. A genetically modified bacteriophage is also disclosed which comprises an indicator gene in the late gene region. The specificity of the bacteriophage, such as CBA120, allows detection of a specific microorganism, such as E. coli O157:H7, and an indicator signal may be amplified to optimize assay sensitivity.
