Culture : Physiological/Biochemical
Characteristics
• Diagnostic tests for determining the presence
of specific enzymes and assessing nutritional
and metabolic activities
• Examples
– Fermentation of sugars
– Capacity to metabolize complex polymers
– Production of gas
– Presence of enzymes

Diagnosis of Microbial Infection

Procedure
• The Western blotting procedure relies
upon three key elements to accomplish
this task:
– The separation of protein mixtures by size
using gel electrophoresis
– The efficient transfer of separated proteins
to a solid support;
– and the specific detection of a target
protein by appropriately matched
antibodies
• Once detected, the target protein will be
visualized as a band on a blotting
membrane, X-ray film, or an imaging
system

Special structures
•Fluorescence
– Direct, e.g. auramine
– Immunofluorescence
Immunoassays
Extremely sensitive methods that permit rapid
and accurate measurement of trace antigen or
antibody
•Radioactive isotope labels RIA
•Enzyme labels ELISA
•Sensitive electronic sensors
Radioimmunoassay (RIA)
• Antibodies or antigens
labeled with a
radioactive isotope
used to pinpoint
minute amounts of a
corresponding antigen
or antibody
• Compare the amount
of radioactivity
present in a sample
before and after
incubation with a
known, labeled
antigen or antibody
• Large amounts of a
bound radioactive
component indicate
that the unknown test
substance was not
present
Enzyme-Linked
Immunosorbent
Assay (ELISA)
Enzyme-antibody
complex that can be used
as a color tracer for
antigen-antibody
reactions
•Indirect
•Direct
• ELISA Test for Serologic Diagnosis

Restriction Fragment Length
Polymorphisms (RFLP)
• DNA is isolated from a sample such as
blood, saliva, semen, tissue, or hair
and purified
• The huge genome is cut up with
restriction enzymes to produce short,
manageable DNA fragments
• DNA fragments are then sorted by size
using gel electrophoresis
• DNA is denatured and transferred and
permanently affixed to a nylon
membrane Southern Blot
• Attach a radioactive, DNA probe that
is complementary to a VNTR locus to
DNA sequences on the membrane
• Take a picture of it using special X-ray
film
Sensitivities test
• Antimicrobial sensitivity
