The present invention relates to a composition for detecting microbial contamination comprising a preparation for detecting nucleases, and a use thereof. A probe for measuring nucleic acid double-stranded nucleases, according to the present invention, may detect the comprehensive nucleic acid degradation capability of nucleases, whereby it is possible to quickly and precisely detect and quantify live microorganisms in a sample in a simple manner. Moreover, since the probe of the present invention is characterized in that signals of fluorescence consistently increase; is capable of measuring live microorganisms; and consists of a double-stranded nucleic acid, the probe is excellent for storage in a kit or a cartridge. As such, it is expected that the probe of the present invention may be used to easily and simply measure and compare the degree of contamination of microorganisms in an environment.

The present invention relates to a probe for detecting bacteria using a peptidoglycan-binding protein, and a method for preparing the same. Also, the present invention relates to a method for detecting bacteria using the probe. The probe for detecting bacteria according to the present invention can specifically detect bacteria. That is, the probe according to the present invention can clearly distinguish between yeast and bacteria and can detect both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and thus is expected to be usable in various fields as a universal probe for detecting bacteria. Further, use of the probe allows bacteria to be detected by identifying only fluorescence development without an additional enzymatic treatment, thereby enabling a simple and quick bacterial detection. In particular, the probe is expected to be effectively usable in the food industry where quick bacterial detection is required.
