It is intended to provide an instrument for detecting bacteria by which bacteria contaminating a test sample can be quickly and exactly determined by a convenient procedure, a method of detecting bacteria and a kit for detecting bacteria. Namely, a microarray type instrument wherein an oligonucleotide based on a base sequence specific to the genus or species, to which the target bacteria belong, is immobilized on the surface of a substrate. The target bacteria in the test sample can be conveniently, quickly and exactly detected and identified depending on the occurance or non-occurance of the hybridization between a probe prepared from the test sample and the oligonucleotide immobilized on the surface of the substrate as described above.
