5.1 : BACTERIAL INFECTIONS AND PATHOGEN
IDENTIFICATION
INTRODUCTION TO BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
• Bacteria interact with the human body in complex ways; we have 10 times more bacterial cells than human
eukaryotic cells.
• Normal flora helps control and combat pathogens.

ASSESSING UNKNOWN PATHOGENS IN THE LABORATORY
• Universal Precautions: used for all unknown samples.
o Treat all samples as potentially hazardous/pathogenic
o Use appropriate PPE at all times
IDENTIFICATION PROCESS INVOLVES MICROSCOPY, STAINING, CHEMICAL REACTIONS, AND PLATING ON SELECTIVE/DIFFERENTIAL MEDIA.
• Initial Observations:
o Note the morphological characteristics (size, shape)
o Observe motility under a microscope
▪ Capture or draw images of observations
• Differential Testing:
o Gram-stain status: Determine Gram status (positive/negative).
o Identify chemical reactions like gas production or fermentation.
o Plating observations on selective or di昀昀erential plate.
o Notice color changes in the organism or media (e.g., Staph aureus on MSA agar).
• Documentation:
o Proper documentation is crucial for identification and treatment selection.
