Method of separating microorganism using nonplanar solid substrate and device for separating microorganism using the same

A method of separating microorganisms from a urine sample, the method comprising:

• contacting a urine sample containing microorganisms with an H-type zeolite such that the sample undergoes ion exchange with the zeolite to form an ion exchanged urine sample phase and a zeolite phase;
• and
• contacting the ion exchanged urine sample phase with a non-planar solid support in a liquid medium having a pH of 3.0 to 6.0 such that microorganisms in the ion exchanged urine sample phase bind to the non-planar solid support,
• wherein the non-planar solid support has hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 70 to 95° or has at least one amine-based functional group on its surface.
