GENERAL Flashcards
Method of identification that involve characterization of some portion of a bacteriums genome using MOLECULAR TECHNIQUES FOR DNA OR RNA ANALYSIS
GENOTYPIC CRITERIA
Method of identification which is a classic approach of bacterial identification based on microscopic morphology and staining characteristics, macroscopic, environmental requirements for growth, resistance or susceptibility to antimicrobial agents
PHENOTYPIC CRITERIA
3+ semi quantitation grading procedure for bacterial isolates on growth media
Greater 10
Greater 10
Less than 10
A media that contains specific nutrients required for the growth of particular bacterial pathogens that may be present alone or mixed with other bacterial species
ENRICHMENT MEDIA
Enrichment media
