After culturing blood, a liquid culture tested positive is transplanted into a plate medium and a cell suspension that is directly usable for identifying and testing drug-sensitivity is prepared without forming colonies. Provided are a device for automatically analyzing microorganisms and a method therefor whereby blood culture and an identification/drug-sensitivity test can be continuously operated. A device for automatically analyzing microorganisms which is configured so that a blood culture test and an identification/drug-sensitivity test can be automatically and continuously conducted, wherein a means for pretreating a cultured blood sample comprises a mechanism for removing liquid culture components in the course of the blood culture and a mechanism for controlling the microbial concentration (cell count) to a constant level after the blood culture. |
