PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently separating and collecting microorganisms, especially acid-fast bacteria, in samples in order to remove materials which are included in various samples and may inhibit nucleic acid amplification reaction. SOLUTION: The method for separating and collecting acid-fast bacteria consists of the process for bringing lectin to be combined with the surface of acid-fast bacteria into contact with the acid-fast bacteria in a sample and forming composite bodies of acid-fast bacteria and lectin and a process for combining the composite bodies with carriers and for separating and collecting the acid-fast bacteria from the sample.
