METHOD FOR DETECTING AND DIRECTLY IDENTIFYING A MICROORGANISM IN A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE BY AN OPTICAL ROUTE

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of analysis, for example biological analysis. Specifically, the invention relates to a method for detecting at least one microorganism present in a sample, the method essentially including the following steps: a) in a first container, bringing the sample into contact with at least one culture medium, b) placing the first container in suitable conditions to permit growth of the microorganism or microorganisms, c) bringing some or all of the mixture being made of the sample and the culture medium into contact with a reaction mixture and a substrate for capturing the microorganism(s) in the first container or in a second container, the reaction mixture having a device for detecting the microorganism(s); d) detecting, within the first or second container, the presence of the microorganism or microorganisms detected by the detecting device and fixed on the capture substrate.

1. A method for detecting at least one microorganism present in a sample, said method essentially comprising the following steps:
a) in a first container, bringing said sample into contact with at least one culture medium, b) placing said first container in suitable conditions to permit growth of the microorganism or microorganisms, c) bringing some or all of the mixture consisting of the sample and the culture medium into contact with a reaction mixture and a substrate for capturing said microorganism(s) in said first container or in a second container, said reaction mixture comprising means for detecting said microorganism(s); d) detecting, within said first or second container, the presence of the microorganism or microorganisms detected by the detecting means and fixed on the capture substrate.
