Claim One:
1. A method for identifying pathogenic bacteria responsible for infection, the method comprising extracting the DNA of a microorganism, subjecting the DNA as a template to gene amplification using the following primer sets (B), (F), and (M), and analyzing the combination of the melting temperatures (Tm values) specific to the microorganism, (B) a primer set that can amplify a plurality of regions of 16S rRNA genes of all bacteria and a primer that includes all or some of each primer base sequence, (F) a primer set that can amplify a plurality of regions of 18S rRNA genes of all fungi and a primer that includes all or some of each primer base sequence, and (M) a primer set that specifically amplifies an Spa gene and an mecA gene of methicillia resistant staphlococcus aureus.
