  • Method for identifying yeast or bacteria from a luminous intensity reflected by, or transmitted through, an illuminated microorganism
    Patent number: 11905545
    Abstract: Method for characterising a microorganism, comprising: —illuminating, in the wavelength range of 390 nm-900 nm, the microorganism having a natural electromagnetic response in said range; —acquiring, in said range, a light intensity reflected by said (or transmitted through said) illuminated microorganism; and —determining the microorganism as being a yeast or a bacterial strain according to the light intensity acquired in said range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2024
    Assignee: BIOMERIEUX
    Inventors: Jordane Lallemand, Denis Leroux, Manuel Petit
  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING THE GRAM TYPE OF A BACTERIUM
    Publication number: 20210079441
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the Gram type and the fermenting character of a bacterial strain, said method comprising: illuminating, in the wavelength range of 390 nm to 900 nm, at least one bacterium from said strain which has a natural electromagnetic response within said range; acquiring, within said range, a light intensity reflected by, or transmitted through, said illuminated bacterium; and determining the Gram type and the fermenting character of the bacterial strain according to the light intensity acquired within said range.
