Abstract: Method for determining microorganism growth in a biological sample likely to contain microorganisms, said biological sample being contained in an analysis container, said analysis container being subjected to an incubation of a determined duration, said method comprising: acquiring a first plurality of initial images of the analysis container at a first acquisition time T1, before or during the incubation; acquiring a second plurality of final images of the analysis container at a second acquisition time T2, during or after the incubation; realigning each initial image of the first plurality of initial images acquired, with each corresponding final image of the second plurality of final images acquired; locating at least one potential microorganism growth zone in at least one image of the second plurality of images acquired; evaluating the content of the potential microorganism growth zone identified in order to determine the presence of microorganisms.

Abstract: A method for determining microorganism growth in a biological sample likely to contain microorganisms, said biological sample being contained in an analysis container such as a Petri dish, said analysis container being subjected to an incubation of a determined duration, said method comprising the following steps: acquisition of a first plurality of initial images of the analysis container at a first acquisition time T1, before or during the incubation; acquisition of a second plurality of final images of the analysis container at a second acquisition time T2, during or after the incubation; realignment of each initial image of the first plurality of initial images acquired, with each corresponding final image of the second plurality of final images acquired; location of at least one potential microorganism growth zone in at least one image of the second plurality of images acquired; evaluation of the content of the potential microorganism growth zone identified in order to determine the presence of microo
