PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for rapidly specifying a contamination source by estimating that any one of water, air or a medium in a culture resource fed to a culture vessel is the contamination source, and to provide a probe set usable in the method. SOLUTION: The method for specifying the contamination source in microorganism contamination of the culture vessel includes detecting the microorganism by using a polynucleotide probe having a base sequence complementary to the base sequence specific to the microorganism originated from the contaminated water, a polynucleotide probe having a base sequence complementary to the base sequence specific to the microorganism originated from the contaminated medium, and a polynucleotide probe having a base sequence complementary to the base sequence specific to the microorganism originated from the contaminated air. The probe set usable for the method for specifying the contamination source is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
