Objective: Principle: The identification of bacteria is a careful and systematic process that uses many different techniques to narrow down the types of bacteria that are present in an unknown bacterial culture. It produces benefits for many aspects of the research of microorganisms and helps physicians correctly treat patients.rease test: Urea is a nitrogen containing compound that is produced during the decarboxylation process of the amino acid arginine in the urea cycle. Urea is highly soluble in water and is thus it is an efficient way for the human body to excess nitrogen.

Cholera Cholera is presumptively diagnosed by patient history and examination of stool for rice-water appearance and presence of V. cholerae-like organisms microscopically; definitive diagnosis is done by isolation and identification of V. cholerae from stool samples.

Key biochemical methods used to distinguish Mycobacterial group 5 / 5  ( 6 ) Key biochemical methods used to distinguish Mycobacterial group. Niacin test: All species of mycobacterium produces Niacin (nicotinic acid) and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis accumulates the most. A positive niacin test provides preliminary evidence that an organism that exhibits a buff-colored, slow-growing rough colony may be M. tuberculosis. Nitrate Reduction test: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a strongly nitrate positive organism. This test is valuable for the identification of M. tuberculosis, M. kansasii, M. szulgai and M. fortuitum.

Gram Stain However, Gram stain results are usually considered preliminary, and results of a culture and/or other tests such as antigen and antibody testing for particular types of bacteria are necessary to confirm a diagnosis.

Objectives: Gram-negative bacteria are decolorized by the alcohol, losing the color of the primary stain, purple. Gram-positive bacteria are not decolorized by alcohol and will remain as purple. After decolorization step, a counterstain is used to impart a pink color to the decolorized gram-negative organisms.

Importance of Biochemical Tests of Bacteria Therefore, ultimately, the identification of bacteria is mostly based on the differences in their biochemical activities. A list of some of the most commonly used biochemical tests performed for the identification of bacteria has been given in Figure 7.1.

- It is used to differentiate between gram positive organisms and gram negative organisms. Hence, it is a differential stain. Gram staining involves a four-part process, which includes: crystal violet, the primary stain. iodine, the mordant. a decolorizer made of acetone and alcohol. safranin, the counterstain.

Urinary tract infection: detection of Escherichia coli antigens in human urine with an ELIEDA immunoenzymatic assay Escherichia coli is the most common causative agent of urinary tract infection (UTI), and diagnosing this infection usually relies on bacteriologic methods. Nevertheless, screening methods can be useful for a rapid presumptive diagnosis even though some of these screening methods have low sensitivity or are expensive.

"""Conclusion Gram Staining"" Essays and Research Papers" The Gram staining method, named after the Danish bacteriologist who originally devised it in 1882 (published 1884), Hans Christian Gram, is one of the most important staining techniques in microbiology. It is almost always the first test performed for the identification of bacteria.The primary stain of the Gram's method is crystal violet. Crystal violet is sometimes substituted with methylene blue, which is equally effective.n addition, special stains can be used to visualize other microorganisms not readily visualized by the Gram stain, such as mycobacteria, rickettsia, spirochetes, and others. In addition, there are modifications of the Gram stain that allow morphologic analysis of eukaryotic cells in clinical specimens.

Useful For Mycoplasma pneumoniae accounts for approximately 20% of all cases of pneumonia. Classically, it causes a disease that has been described as primary atypical pneumonia. The disease is of insidious onset with fever, headache, and malaise for 2 to 4 days before the onset of respiratory symptoms.f testing is performed too early following primary infection, IgG and/or IgM may not be detectable. If a Mycoplasma infection is clinically indicated, a second specimen should be submitted in 14 to 21 days.

Objective: Staining is a simple basic technique that is used to identify microorganisms. Simple staining is used to study the morphology of all microorganisms (Fig 1). The simple stain uses the basic dyes such as Methylene blue or basic fuschin.

- The cells that decolorize easily are gram negative, those that hold the primary stain are gram positive. Negative staining is used to show better morphology(shape) and size of cells, as well as being used in hard to stain bacteria such as coccobacilli.

- Gram Stain - Purpose, Procedure and Preparation Purpose, Procedure and Preparation. Gram stain is probably one of the most commonly used staining procedures used in the field of microbiology. It is one of the differential stains that are used to characterize bacteria in one of two groups: either gram positive bacteria or gram negative bacteria.

Gram stain Gram staining, also called Gram's method, is a method of differentiating bacterial species into two large groups (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). The name comes from the Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram, who developed the technique.

Types of Staining techniques used in Microbiology and their applications 4.38 / 5  ( 16 ) Gram stain is a very important differential staining techniques used in the initial characterization and classification of bacteria in Microbiology. Gram staining helps to identify bacterial pathogens in specimens and cultures by their Gram reaction (Gram positive and Gram Negative) and morphology (Cocci/Rod).

Rates Rates. A ratio is a comparison of two numbers or measurements. The numbers or measurements being compared are called the terms of the ratio. A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69, the rate is 69 for 12 ounces. The first term of the ratio is measured in cents; the second term in ounces. You can write this rate as 69 /12 ounces or 69 :12 ounces.

Listeria Detection and Identification Methods in Foods Listeria Detection and Identification Methods in Foods. Up until the 1980s, Listeria was considered a rather rare and little known bacterial genus. Discovered around 100 years ago, it was a very occasional cause of meningitis and septicaemia, especially in newborn babies, but received little attention.

PCR for the Food Microbiology Laboratory PCR Kits for Food Microbiology. End-point PCR detection takes place, as the name suggests, when the amplification process is complete. Typically, agarose gel electrophoresis, followed by staining with fluorescent ethidium bromide is used to detect the amplified DNA fragments.

- C. METHODS TO DETERMINE TOTAL MICROBIAL NUMBERS. Once the sample is prepared, there are several methods available to determine total cell numbers in the food. Many of these methods also allow for the enumeration of important groups of bacteria, such as coliforms. A few can allow you to count the number of microbes from a specific genus like Salmonella. 1.

- The deoxyribonuclease (DNase) test detects the degradation of DNA by bacterial species that produce DNase. The DNase test may be performed on plate media and is available in some commercial tests, e.g., QuadFERM+.When DNase is produced by organisms in the QuadFERM+ test, an acidic endproduct is formed and the pH indicator changes from red (alkaline) to yellow (acid) e.g., Figure 1.Figure 1.

Why is identifying Bacteria important? The various diseases that are caused by the bacteria due to the release of the toxins by them inside the cells made it necessary to identify the bacteria. Some bacteria are aerobic and some are anaerobic. Some travel in air, some in water and some through any object from one hand to the hand of other people.They travel in the medium with the help of flagella or by wriggling. The bacteria that are living inside the living organisms cause lot of discomfort in them.ome bacteria are aerobic and some are anaerobic.
