Survey of Microbial Disease
Methods of identifying unknown microbes fall into three categories:
1. Phenotypic - observable microscopic and macroscopic characteristics
2. Genotypic – genetic make up3. Immunological – serology; antibody-
antigen reactions
![Page 3: Chapter17 Lecture](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577ccd581a28ab9e788c1357/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Phenotypic Methods• Microscopic morphology – fresh or stained
microorganisms from specimen; shape, size, stain reaction, cell structures
• Macroscopic morphology – colony appearance; texture, size, shape, pigment, growth requirements
• Physiological/biochemical characteristics – detection of presence or absence of particular enzymes or metabolic pathways
• Chemical analysis – analyze specific chemical composition; cell wall peptides, cell membrane lipids

Genotypic Methods
• Assess genetic make-up.• Culture is not necessary.• Precise, automated methods, quick results
![Page 5: Chapter17 Lecture](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577ccd581a28ab9e788c1357/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Immunological Methods• Specific antibodies are used to detect
antigens.

Specimen Collection and Laboratory Methods
• Sampling body sites or fluids for suspected infectious agent
• Results depend on specimen collection, handling, transport and storage.
• Aseptic procedures should be used.

Phenotypic Methods• Observation –
– macroscopic - cultivation – colony appearance, growth requirements, appropriate media
– microscopic - differential and special stains – Gram, AFB, fluorescent antibody stains
• Direct antigen/antibody testing• Biochemical testing – physiological
reactions to nutrients as evidence of the absence or presence of enzymes

• Important to consider whether microbe recovered and identified is actually causing the disease or simply normal flora

Genotypic Methods• DNA analysis
– Assess the proportion of G + C nucleotides relative to A + T content.
– Determine DNA or ribosomal RNA sequences using probes and polymerase chain reactions.

Immunological Methods
• Serology – attempts to detect signs of infection in a patient by identifying specific antibodies in vitro
• Visible reactions include precipitates, color changes, or the release of radioactivity.
• Tests can be used to identify and to determine the amount of antibody in serum – titer.

Agglutination and Precipitation Reactions
• Agglutination testing – antibody cross links whole-cell antigens, forming complexes that settle out and form visible clumps– blood typing, some bacterial and viral diseases
• Precipitation tests – soluble antigen is made insoluble by an antibody – syphilis,
• Western blot – immunoelectrophoresis; separates antigens into bands – HIV

Complement Fixation
• Detect antibodies that fix complement and lyse target cells– antigen, antibody, complement, and sensitized
sheep RBCs– If complement is fixed by the Ag-Ab, the RBCs
will not be lysed.

Immunoassays
• Extremely sensitive to detect trace antigens and antibodies
• Radioimmunoassay (RIA) – antigens and antibodies labeled with radioactive isotopes
• Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) – enzyme-antibody complex produces a colored product when an enzyme-substrate reaction occurs

In vivo Testing
• Antigens are introduced directly into the body to determine the presence or absence of antibodies.– tuberculin skin test, allergy testing
