ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides an apparatus useful for the detection of an unknown microorganism such as a bac- terium in a liquid nutritive medium comprising a tube adapted to receive a portion of a nutritive liquid medium containing an unknown bacterium and means for sealing off said tube and a test strip comprising at least one liquid reactive surface cap- able of being immersed in said liquid medium, said surface con- taining nutritive elements complementary to the nutritive elements in the liquid medium and a reagent which reacts with said bac- terium, said reagent being incapable of inhibiting growth of said specimen and being non-toxic to said specimen, and at least one vapor-reactive surface incapable of being immersed in the liquid medium, said surface containing reagents which are toxic to said bacterium and react on contact with vapors emitted by the liquid medium due to the presence of the bacterium contained thereon. The invention also provides a novel method for de- tecting a bacterium, a test strip and a flexible cover for glass containers.
