Abstract: The present invention is related to an identification and/or quantification method of several organisms among many other ones possibly present in the analyzed sample having homologous sequence(s) by the determination of the genetic map of the organism. The method combines a limited number of amplifications of target sequence(s) using common primer pairs and the recording upon an array for the presence of single signals resulting from the binding between the capture sequence(s) and their corresponding target sequence(s) and correlating the presence of said detected target sequence(s) to the identification of some genetic specific sequence(s) of said (micro)organism(s) referred as genetic elements and from there to the identification of the organism. The method and device according to the invention allow the easy identification/detection of a sequence specific of an organism among other homologous sequence(s) and possibly its quantification.

Abstract: A method for identifying or quantifying an organism by a detecting its nucleotide sequence among at least 4 other homologous sequences comprising amplifying nucleic acids from the organism to generate target nucleotide sequences to be detected; contacting the target nucleotide sequences with single stranded capture nucleotide sequences bound by a single predetermined link to an insoluble solid support and discriminating the binding of a target nucleotide sequence specific of an organism with a signal resulting from a hybridization by complementary base pairing between the target nucleotide sequence and its corresponding capture nucleotide sequence is disclosed. The capture nucleotide sequence is bound to the insoluble solid support at a specific location on an array having a density of at least 4 different bound single stranded capture nucleotide sequences/cm2. The location of the signal on the array allows identification or quantification of the organism.
