ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of detecting microorganisms, comprising the step of converting physical forms of microorganisms by antigen-antibody reaction and successively measuring the information that shows the physical forms of the converted data, and the step of comparing a statistical pattern of the values thus measured and a reference statistical pattern of a control subjected to no antigen-antibody reaction, thus detecting the microorganisms of interest. A change in both patterns, i.e., no correspondence thereof, enables recognition of the presence of the microorganisms of interest.
