    Study Notes

    Microbiology Techniques and Tests

    • Biopsies are used for correct isolation and identification of microorganisms and must be obtained correctly without introducing microbes or damaging factors required for identification.
    • Anaerobic growth conditions are particularly important for wound or blood infections caused by Clostridia, and microaerophilic jars are used for other pathogens like Helicobacter pylori and Campylobacter.
    • Different types of growth media are used for the identification of bacteria, including general purpose, enriched, selective, and differential media.
    • Eosin methylene blue (EMB) is a selective and differential media used for the isolation of Gram-negative microorganisms based on their appearance on the media.
    • Biochemical tests in media are used to look for the ability of bacteria to ferment sugars and produce gas, among other reactions.
    • Immunological tests, such as antibody-antigen interactions, are used for diagnosis and involve specificity and sensitivity of antibodies to detect antigens.
    • Assay sensitivity varies depending on the test employed, with techniques like agglutination reactions, radioimmunoassay (RIA), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) offering different sensitivity levels.
    • Neutralization tests are used to neutralize the biological activity of pathogens or toxins, including viral neutralization to inhibit the cytopathic effect of certain viruses on cell cultures.
    • Viral hemagglutination tests involve clumping of red blood cells by surface proteins of viruses, and fluorescent immunoglobulins (Igs) modified with fluorescent dyes can detect antigens on cells.
    • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) uses enzyme-labeled antibodies to detect antigens or Igs, and PCR-based tests, like LAMP-PCR, allow for amplifying specific DNA products at a constant temperature.
    • Other technologies, such as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, can identify different bacteria based on their signature profiles in clinical labs.
    • The text concludes with a mention of a forthcoming lecture on microbiology in the food industry by Dr. Tadhg Ó Cróinín.
