    Abstract: Kits and devices for performing a method of detecting a molecule associated with viability of one or more cells or organisms in a sample are provided. The method comprises the initial step of contacting the sample with an enzyme, which enzyme is capable of adding or removing a chemical moiety to or from a nucleic acid molecule in the presence of the molecule associated with viability of the one or more cells or organisms. This thereby generates a novel detectable nucleic acid molecule. The next step involves detecting the presence of the molecule associated with viability of the one or more cells or organisms by detecting the novel nucleic acid molecule generated only in the presence of the molecule associated with viability of the one or more cells or organisms. A most preferred molecule associated with viability is ATP, although NAD may also be detected. A preferred enzyme for use in the methods is ligase. The kits and devices for performing the method have numerous applications, in particular in monitoring viability of cells, toxicology testing and determining whether there is contamination in a sample or on a surface.

    Abstract: An improved method of detecting an enzyme in a sample, which enzyme is capable of adding or removing a chemical moiety to or from a nucleic acid molecule, thereby conferring the nucleic acid molecule with the ability to be extended to generate a novel detectable nucleic acid molecule, comprises the steps of allowing the sample to be tested for the presence of the enzyme to interact with the nucleic acid molecule; and testing for interaction of the enzyme with the nucleic acid molecule by detecting the novel nucleic acid molecule generated only in the presence of the enzyme. The preferred enzyme is a phosphatase. The methods have a number of applications, for example in enhancing the sensitivity of immunoassays, for detecting pathogen associated phosphatase, for diagnosing certain conditions and for detecting specific contaminants in a sample.

    Abstract: A method of detecting a ligase expressing micro-organism in a sample comprises steps of treating the sample under conditions that inhibit the activity of ATP-dependent ligase from mammalian cells but which do not inhibit the activity of the microbial ligases, contacting the sample or a portion of the sample with a nucleic acid molecule which acts as a substrate for ligase activity in the sample, incubating the thus contacted sample under conditions suitable for ligase activity; and specifically determining the presence and/or the amount of a ligated nucleic acid molecule resulting from the action of the ligase on the substrate nucleic acid molecule to indicate the presence of the ligase expressing micro-organism. The micro-organism may be a fungus or a bacterium or both. High pH conditions may be employed to inactivate mammalian ligases. Related kits are described.

    Abstract: NAD-dependent ligase is identified as an indicator of micro-organisms in a sample. A method of detecting the presence of an NAD-dependent ligase expressing micro-organism in a sample comprises the steps of: (a) contacting the sample with a nucleic acid molecule which acts as a substrate for NAD-dependent ligase activity in the sample, (b) incubating the thus contacted sample under conditions suitable for NAD-dependent ligase activity; and (c) specifically determining the presence of a ligated nucleic acid molecule resulting from the action of the NAD-dependent ligase on the substrate nucleic acid molecule to indicate the presence of the NAD-dependent ligase expressing micro-organism. The method has a number of applications and kits for carrying out the methods are also provided. Lysostaphin preparations substantially free from nuclease and/or ligase contaminants are produced by heating a lysostaphin preparation which contains nuclease and/or ligase contaminants under conditions whereby nuclease and/or ligase activity is reduced whereas endopeptidase activity of the lysostaphin is substantially unaffected.
