3. these types of methods consider microscopic and macroscopic morphology, physiology, and biochemistry to diagnose a pathogen
5. type of agar plate that is selective for gram positive bacteria and differential for mannitol fermentation
8. used to encourage growth of only suspected type of bacteria (gram positive or negative)
11. type of agar plate that is differential for hemolysis
12. also known as immunochromatography, a type of phenotypic and immunologic typing that uses detection and capture antibodies flowing laterally along a surface to identify an antigen
14. type of agar plate that is enriched and differential, allowing for growth of most organisms
15. concentration of antibodies in a patient sample
16. type of agar plate that is selective and differential, allowing for growth of gram negative organisms that ferment lactose
18. type of ELIZA that detects antibodies

1. flow chart used to help identify bacteria based on phenotypic results
2. this type of method sequences the microbe's DNA/RNA for diagnosis
4. used to identify definitive characteristics of a bacteria
6. techniques that allows for staining of bacteria with mycolic acid in their cell wall, which prevents gram staining
7. protein gel electrophoresis used as a confirmatory test, more specific and quantitative than an ELISA
9. these types of methods are serological in nature, determining amount of antibody/antigen to diagnose a pathogen
10. type of agar plate that is selective for gram positive bacteria
13. sterile sample containers and tools are used, and only infected sites are sampled to avoid contamination
17. type of ELIZA that detects antigens
