<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple detection apparatus and a method in which shortening of a detection time and improvement of detection sensitivity, particularly sensitivity to gram-negative bacteria are performed. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for detecting a microorganism has a sample-collecting part 10 for collecting a sample from a detection target, a sample-concentrating part 20 for concentrating the microorganism from the sample, a reagent-charging part 30 for charging a reagent in which the color tone changes when the microorganism exists into the sample and a microorganism-detecting part 40 for detecting the change of color tone of the reagent with an optical system. The shortening of detection time and improvement of detection sensitivity are performed by concentrating the microorganism from the sample. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
