IDENTIFICATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF MICROORGANISMS Microbiology
Processes Involved Staining Microscopy Microbial Culture Colony Morphology Biochemical Characteristics Immunological Methods Ultrastructure Studies
Microscopy The human eye cannot resolve objects much less than 0.1 – 0.2 mm. It cannot detect objects with diameters less that about one thousandths of an inch (30 µm). Bacterial size range from 0.2 – 2 µm. Much of what we know today about microorganisms was made possible with the aid of the microscope.
Parts of a Microscope
Types of Microscopes Bright-Field Microscope Dark-Field Microscope Phase-Contrast Microscope Fluorescent Microscope Dissection Microscope Scanning Electron Microscope Transmission Electron Microscope
Staining Used to increase visibility of microorganisms being studied Used to identify the shape of bacteria Used to determine the morphological features of microorganisms Used to detect contamination  Used to differentiate and classify microorganisms (differential stains) Used to detect bacterial parts such as capsule, spores, flagella or inclusion bodies (special stains)
Fixation The process by which the internal and external structures of microorganisms are preserved and fixed in place. Heat fixation – fixation by means of application of heat The prepared smear of microorganisms is gently heated and air-dried. Chemical fixation – involves the use of chemicals such as ethanol and formaldehyde.
Simple Staining Technique Only one stain is used Crystal Violet, CarbolFuchsin, and Methylene Blue are examples of basic dyes used in simple staining technique.
Differential Staining Used to classify bacteria into separate groups based on their distinct staining properties Makes use of a primary stain, a decolorizer, and a counterstain Gram Stain and Acid-Fast Stain are examples
Gram Stain Differentiates bacteria into two groups: Gram positive and Gram negative Stain mechanism is generally related to the thickness of the cell wall, pore size and permeability properties of intact cell envelope Makes use of a primary stain (Crystal Violet), a mordant (Gram’s Iodine) a decolorizer (Alcohol or Acetone) and a counterstain (Safranin). Gram positive organisms stain blue while gram negative organisms stain red. Most cocci are gram positive; a third of all cocci, half of the bacilli, and all the spiral bacteria are gram negative.
Examples of Gram Positive Bacteria Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus pyogenes Clostridium perfringens Listeriamonocytogenes
Examples of Gram Negative Bacteria Escherichia coli Haemophilusinfluenzae Vibriocholerae Neisseriameningitidis
Acid-Fast Stain Used to differentiate Mycobacteria  (M. tuberculosis) from other bacteria Mycobacteria are lipophilic or difficult to stain. Once stained, Mycobacteria are resistant to counterstain. Nocardia are partially acid fast Makes use of a primary stain (KinyounCarbolFuchsin), decolorizer (Acid Alcohol), and counterstain (Methylene Blue). Acid fast bacteria appear as bright red bacilli against a light blue background.
Special Staining Techniques Negative Staining using India Ink or Negrosine is used to reveal the presence of capsule Schaefer-Fulton using Malachite Green and Safranin is used to stain endospores The Leifson Method (pararosalanine), and Gray Method (basic fuchsin) are used to stain flagella.
Microbial Culture Makes use of a growth environment called culture medium Microorganisms form culture when inoculated in or on the medium. May be purely chemical (defined or synthetic), may contain organic materials, or may consist of living organisms.
Types of Culture Medium Nutrient broth and Nutrient agar – used to cultivate bacteria. Both contain proteins, salts, and growth enhancers.   Selective Medium – enhances the growth of a desired organism while retards the growth of unwanted organisms. Differential Medium – does not retard growth but provides environment where different bacteria can be differentiated from each other.
Selective Medium MacConkey Agar retards the growth of Gram + bacteria and enhances the growth of Gram - bacteria
Selective Medium Thayer-Martin Medium favors the growth of Neisseria gonorrhea  only
Selective Medium Lowenstein-Jensen medium is used for the detection of M. tuberculosis
Differential Medium BLOOD AGAR PLATE (BAP)
Differential Medium MacConkey Agar is used to differentiate lactose fermenters from non-lactose fermenters
Colony Morphology S. Pneumoniae in BAP P. aeroginosa
Colony Morphology
Biochemical Characteristics Refers to the characteristic patterns of substrate utilization, metabolic product formation and sugar formation.
