摘要： Methods for removing inhibitors of microbial growth, including antibiotics, from a biological sample suspected of containing one or more microorganisms are provided. The methods include contacting a sample, or a culture growth medium containing the sample, with reversed-phase adsorbent media, which remove the inhibitors of microbial growth, but allow the microorganisms of interest to remain in the sample or culture growth medium.
