A method for detecting at least one microorganism that may be present in a sample, comprising the steps of:

Method for the real-time detection of microorganisms in a liquid culture medium by agglutination

The present invention generally relates to the field of analysis for example biological analysis. More specifically, the present invention relates to a process of detecting at least one microorganism present in a sample placed in a closed container, said method comprising essentially the following steps:

Process of directly detecting and identifying a microorganism in a biological sample diluted in an enrichment broth

The present invention relates to a method for detecting at least one target microorganism that may be present in a sample, comprising the steps of: The present invention also relates to a method for detecting and identifying at least one target microorganism that may be present in a sample.

Method for real-time detection of microorganisms in a liquid culture medium using cellular lysis

The invention concerns an analysis card as well as a method for filing such a card and the use of said card. Said card comprises a body consisting of: a zone for injecting into the card a biological fluid to be analyzed; a main duct supplying the biological fluid coming from the injection zone; at least two secondary ducts located in the extension of the main duct; and at least one well corresponding to each secondary duct. The invention is characterized in that each well constitutes a means for dispensing a specific volume of said biological fluid into at least two terminal analysis ducts, via a terminal duct for each analysis cavity and the volume to be analyzed is less than the total volume of all the analysis ducts. Although this concerns a particular embodiment wherein a biological fluid is transferred in parallel, in another embodiment the transfer may be carried out in series. The invention is particularly applicable in microbiology.
