Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The object is to provide a lysis method and lysis treatment solution for efficiently lysing cells of various Streptococcus bacteria in milk of a livestock animal to release a specific antigen substance contained in the cells for detecting whether causative bacterium of mastitis is a Streptococcus bacterium or not by using the milk, as well as a detection method using an immunochromatographic device. There is provided a method for lysing a Streptococcus bacterium, which comprises the step of mixing a lysis agent containing a lytic enzyme with milk obtained form a livestock animal to lyse a Streptococcus bacterium existing in the milk. The lytic enzyme is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of lysozyme, labiase, and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for lysing a Streptococcus bacterium contained in milk, which comprises the step of mixing a lysis agent containing lysozyme, labiase, and a nonionic surfactant with the milk to lyse the bacterium existing in the milk, wherein, in the step of mixing the lysis agent with the milk to lyse the bacterium existing in the milk, final concentration of the nonionic surfactant is not higher than 3%. 2. The lysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the bacterium is Streptococcus uberis or Streptococcus agalactiae. 3. The lysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the nonionic surfactant comprises a polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether and/or a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester. 4. The lysis method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the step of mixing the lysis agent with the milk to lyse the bacterium existing in the milk, final concentration of the nonionic surfactant is not lower than 0.03% and not higher than 3%. 5. The lysis method according to claim 4 , wherein, in the step of mixing the lysis agent with the milk to lyse the bacterium existing in the milk, final concentration of lysozyme is not lower than 0.5 mg/ml and not higher than 200 mg/ml; and/or in the step of mixing the lysis agent with the milk to lyse the bacterium existing in the milk, final concentration of labiase is not lower than 0.05 mg/ml and not higher than 20 mg/ml.
