Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a beta-lactam antibiotic in a sample, said method comprising: a) contacting a liquid sample with a labeled antibiotic binding protein obtained from an antibiotic-sensitive b) providing a test device having a proximal and a distal end, said test device configured to allow lateral flow from the proximal to the distal end, said test device comprising a solid support comprising the following regions in sequence from the proximal to the distal end: c) contacting the liquid composition of part a) with the sample receiving region of the test device of part b), d) allowing the liquid composition to move from the sample receiving region through the detection region to the absorbing region, so as to allow the liquid composition comprising the labeled antibiotic binding protein and the labeled control reagent to contact the detection zone and the control zone, e) detecting a signal at the detection zone and a signal at the control zone, wherein
