(57) [Summary] (Modifications) [Problem] A bacterial identification method and a bacterial identification capable of easily and easily distinguishing between bacterial species, between bacterial strains, or between bacterial serotypes. It is to provide a device. A DNA fragment is amplified by SSC-PCR using primers of seven specific base sequences, and the DNA fragment amplified by electrophoresis is fractionated by size. An electrophoresis image is taken, captured as image data, and each band of the electrophoresis image is detected based on the image data. Bacteria are identified based on the band size and band intensity of each band detected. |
