Small numbers of Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores, Serratia marcescens and Francisella tularensis can be detected and identified in 1 h using an indirect radiolabeled antibody staining technique with homologous rabbit antibacterial antibody and radiolabeled goat anti-rabbit globulin. 3H is better than 125I, 14C and 35S for labeling the globulin. The reagent obtained is sensitive and adequately stable.
