The present invention relates to a composition for selectively detecting
an extremely small amount of peptidoglycan in sample, a preparation
method of the composition, and a detection kit for peptidoglycan. It is
possible to quantify a small amount of peptidoglycan contained in human
blood, tissue, body fluid, water or food, and to diagnose an infection of
microorganism with peptidoglycan as a component of cell wall using the
composition and the detection kit. In addition, the composition can be
applied for a diagnosis reagent of detecting an infection of
Gram-positive bacteria in animal or human being in advance, and thus, can
be used for the prevention or treatment of food poisonings and bacterial
sepsis.
