    The document discusses bacterial taxonomy and classification. It explains that taxonomy is the science of classification that establishes phylogenetic relationships between organisms. Classification provides a universal language of communication and reference for identification by describing physical and chemical characteristics. Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology provides descriptions and a system for identification. Bacteria are classified based on their kingdom, divisions, sections, orders, families, genera, and species. Morphology, staining reactions, physiological characteristics, and DNA structure are some of the criteria used for bacterial classification and identification.
