plantae

1. multicellular

2. no cell wall


3. chemoheterotrophic



animilliae

what are tricky to classify and often the host range is used or with antibodies or ecological niche

viruses

not part of any domain, not composed of cells, requires a host cell

viruses

provides identification schemes for identifying bacteria and archaea

Bergey's manual of Determinitive Bacteriology

used to note types of specimens collected and tests to be conducted

Lab requisition forms

used to collect and transport pathogens to a labratory

transport media

useful for identifying Eukaryotes, but tell little about phylogenetic relationships

morphological characteristics

gram-staining, acid-fast staining. Not useful for bacteria without cell walls. Most common

Differential staining

determine presence of bacterial enzymes

biochemical tests

perform several biochemical tests simultaneously and the results of each test is assigned a number

rapid-identification methods

the science that studies serum and immune responses in serum

serology

a solution of antibodies is tested against an unknown bacteria

anti-serum

bacteria agglutinate when mixed with antibodies produces in response to the bacteria

slide agglutination test

can differentiate between species and strains within species

serological testing

known antibodies and an unknown type of bacterium are added to a well and a reaction identifies the bacteria

ELISA

identifies antibodies in patients serum; confirms HIV infection

western blotting

a test for determining which phages a bacterium is susceptible to

phage typeing

on a plate, clearings called plaques appear where phages infect and lyse bacterial cells

phage typing
