Study Notes

Microorganism Identification

The goal of identification procedures for microorganisms is to determine the type of microorganism present in a sample.

Identification Process

Identification of microorganisms is accomplished through a series of procedures, including sampling, inoculation, incubation, and characterization.

Inoculation

The purpose of placing the sample into a container of medium is to provide a suitable environment for the microorganisms to grow and multiply.
Delivery tools commonly used for inoculation include inoculation loops, needles, and swabs.

Additional Tests

Additional tests, such as biochemical tests, serological tests, and molecular tests, are usually required to determine microbial function and characteristics.
These tests help to identify the microorganism's metabolic capabilities, toxin production, and antigenic properties, among other characteristics.
