Abstract
A rapid assay for determining the presence of bacteria in a sample, such as a contaminated food sample, is disclosed. The assay comprises contacting the sample with a bacteria-specific ligand associated with a substrate, wherein bacteria present in the sample bind the ligand; contacting the bound bacteria with a detection agent; detecting the presence of bacteria in the sample by measuring the quantity of detection agent associated with the sample.
