Abstract
A detection of the Gram type of a bacterial strain includes: illumination, in the wavelength range 415 nm-440 nm, of at least one bacterium of said strain having a natural electromagnetic response in said range; acquisition, in the range 415 nm-440 nm, of a light intensity reflected by, or transmitted through, said illuminated bacterium; and determination of the Gram type of the bacterial strain as a function of the light intensity acquired in the range 415 nm-440 nm.
