USPTO Abstract

A novel method for evaluating an effect of an antimicrobial agent which comprises removing the antimicrobial agent remaining in a biological sample infected with a pathogenic microorganism or the like by removing the antimicrobial agent and thereafter detecting the viable pathogenic microorganism in the biological sample or infected site to thereby accurately evaluate the effect of the antimicrobial agent on the pathogenic microorganism without being effected by the remaining antimicrobial agent. The novel method also provides a screening method for therapeutic agents effective for detecting pathogenic microorganisms, for treating fungal infections, in particular, onychomycosis.
