Zusammenfassung:	Identification of infectious agents, in samples like blood, urine, mouthwash obtained from patients, is the most important tool for laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases. Due to their technical nature, diagnostic tests can use only a small part of the sample obtained from the patient. For that reason, it is very important to concentrate infectious agents into a small volume of sample that will be used in diagnostic tests, to increase their sensitivity. Additionally, there may be substances that interfere by working of the diagnostic tests based on nucleic acid amplification like polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It is important to remove these substances so that this kind of diagnostic tests can work properly. This invention is a method of concentrating infectious agents in biological samples by using elastic polymer meshes. When added to liquid biological samples, these meshes remove water and small molecules from their environment, diminish the volume of the sample and thus enable concentrating the microorganisms Concentration of microorganism and removal of substances that inhibit the working of diagnostic methods, increase the sensitivity of these methods.
