considers macroscopic and microscopic morphology, physiology, and biochemistry

genetic techniques increasingly being used as a sole resource for identifying bacteria

used to enrich a pathogen present in small numbers or is easily overgrown

used for nonsterile specimens containing a diversity of bacterial species to encourage the growth of only the suspected pathogen

used to identify definitive characteristics and fermentation patterns

involves in vitro testing of serum; based on the principle that antibodies have an extreme specificity for antigens

False Choose the statement that best describes the PCR reaction’s usefulness in infectious disease diagnosis.

Results in amplification of sample DNA

Serology is the branch of immunology that traditionally deals with in vitro diagnostic testing of

SERUM...although the field has expanded to include other types of samples such as urine, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid.

When antibodies or other substances in serum cross-react with the test reagents, a false positive result can occur true or false?

This category includes techniques for the analysis of a microbe’s DNA or RNA.	Genotypic
This category includes techniques for the observation of a microbe’s microscopic and macroscopic morphology, physiology, and biochemical properties.	Phenotypic
This category includes techniques for the analysis of a microbe using antibodies, or of patients’ antibodies using pre-packaged antigens.	Immunologic
A technique called peptide nucleic acid FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) is used to identify 16s RNA sequences, but is a time consuming process since the organism must first be cultured true or false	false
