Techniques / Methods for Classification or Identification

1. Classification

   • Classical characteristics
     • Morphological characteristic
     • Physiological and Metabolic characteristics
     • Biochemical characteristics
     • Ecological characteristics
   • Molecular characterisitics
     • Genomic Fingerprinting
     • Nucleic Acid Hybridization
     • Nucleic Acid Base Composition
     • Comparison of Protein or Amino Acid Sequences

2. Identification

   • Microscopic examination
   • Growth and biochemical characteristics (manual / rapid)
   • Immunologic test (rapid)
   • Bacteriophage typing (rapid)
   • Antibiotics susceptibility test (rapid)
   • Molecular methods
