Abstract
A device is described for the cytochemical analysis of pathogens requiring up to level 3 containment. The rapid demonstration of induced β-galactosidase in Gram-negative cells detected in a blood culture illustrates potentially wide applications of the device in clinical practice and research.Keywords
