A sample is tested for the presence of bacteria, such as in an automatic blood culturing apparatus. If bacteria are determined to be present, a bacteriophage- based bacteria identification process is performed to identify the bacteria present. A plurality of bacteria detection processes, such as a blood culture test and Gram stain test may be carried out prior to the bacteria identification process. A bacteriophage-based antibiotic resistance test or antibiotic susceptibility test is also conducted on the sample.

L'invention concerne l'analyse d'un échantillon pour détecter la présence de bactéries, par exemple dans un appareil d'hémoculture automatique. Si la présence de bactéries est déterminée, un processus d'identification des bactéries basée sur des bactériophages est mis en oeuvre pour identifier les bactéries présentes. Une pluralité de processus de détection de bactéries, tels que l'hémoculture et la coloration Gram, peuvent être mis en oeuvre avant le processus d'identification de bactéries. Un test de résistance aux antibiotiques ou un test de sensibilité aux antibiotiques basés sur des bactériophages sont également effectués sur l'échantillon.
