Microscopy
Direct
– WCC
– Parasites
– Bacteria
Stain
– Simple
– Differential
– Structural
– Flourescent
Staining
Increase contrast of microorganisms
– Identify organism
– Structural characteristics
Classified into types of stains
– Simple stain:
– Differential stain:
– Structural or special stains
Gram stain
Most common stain
Valuable first step in identification
Differentiates into two groups
Physicochemical cell wall properties
– crystal violet to a heat-fixed smear
– Lugol’s iodine as a mordant
– rapid decolorization with alcohol /acetone
– counterstaining with safranin/carbol fuchsin
Gram stain morphology
Shape
– cocci (round)
– diplococci
– bacilli (rods)
– spiral or curved (spirochetes)
Single or multiple cells
– clusters (staph)
– chains (strep)
Gram positive or negative
Bacterial
isolation and identification
Samples
streaked on culture plates
isolated colonies of bacteria appear after incubation.
Key step in identification – colonial morphology
size,
texture,
colour,
haemolysis ,
smell.
Incubation temperature, time and atmospheric conditions
important characteristic.
Bacterial Culture
Media
– Solid
– Liquid
25 different types of solid & liquid media used routinely in Microcare Laboratory
Culture Media
– Nutrient
BA
CA
– Selective
SS Agar
XLD Agar
– Differential
MacC
– Chromogenic
Incubation
Temperature
– 37oC, 30oC,22oC,40oC
Time
– 18 hours
Atmospheric conditions
– Air
– CO2 / Microaerophilic
– Anaerobic

Identification & taxonomy
Family

Strain
Biochemical (physiological) tests
Fermentation
Metabolic characteristics
Molecular tests
DNA-DNA homology
16S rRNA sequencing
Chemical profiling
Mass Spectrometry
Non culture based detection
Polymerase chain reaction- (PCR)
Agglutination (antigen detection)
Stain
Serology (antibody detection)
Automated BC
Continuous monitoring
Early detection
CO2 production
Closed system
Reduced risk of laboratory contamination
Antimicrobial susceptibility test
Minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC]
– The smallest concentration of antibiotic that
inhibits the growth of organism
Liquid media (dilution) allows MIC estimation
Solid media (diffusion)
– Disk diffusion CLSI/EUCAST
– E-tests
– Allows MIC estimation
Identification of resistance determinants
Natural & acquired resistance
Natural resistance
– Affect almost all species strains
– Existed before antibiotic use (Enterobacter sp. -amoxicillin)
Acquired resistance (mutation)
– Chromosomic, plasmidic
– Affects a fraction of strains
– Increased with antibiotic use(extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing E. coli)
Disc Diffusion
Classic Microbiology Technique
Standardised suspension swabbed onto plate
Discs placed on the surface
Zones read and compared to standard
Microbiology, St. James's Hospital
Common problems
Problem with the size of the inoculum
Depth of medium
Type of medium
Moisture content
Solution:
Use McFarland 0.5 photometer
Scale -> same tubes
Dilution in liquid broth
increasing antibiotic concentrations
Standard concentration
Incubation for 18 hr at 37°C
