Abstract

Presented herein are solid supports on or in which a composition comprising a lysis reagent and an intracellular microorganism target detection reagent (e.g., an intracellular bacterial target detection reagent) is present in added form. Presented herein are also methods for detecting the presence of an intracellular microorganism target (e.g., an intracellular bacterial target) utilizing such solid supports. Further, presented herein are tablets as well as dry powders comprising a lysis reagent and an intracellular microorganism target detection reagent (e.g., an intracellular bacterial target detection reagent), and methods of using such tablets and dry powders to detect the presence of an intracellular microorganism target (e.g., an intracellular bacterial target).
