A microorganism detection method that: is highly versatile, being applicable to both a test for specified microorganisms and a microbial enumeration test using the same test conditions for Kampo extract preparations and crude drugs containing a wide variety of antimicrobial substances; makes it possible to reduce the impact of antimicrobial substances in a test sample effectively; and allows the detection of target microorganisms with a high degree of precision. Said method, which is used to detect microorganisms in a test sample that exhibits antimicrobial activity, is characterized by having a step in which a liquid sample containing a test sample that exhibits antimicrobial activity is prepared and a step in which target microorganisms are cultured in a culture medium. Said method is also characterized in that a (meth)acrylic-acid-ester synthetic adsorbent is made to act on the liquid sample and/or the culture medium. |
