Introduction As previous labs have demonstrated, utilizing various methods to test and determine bacteria types are invaluable to researchers, scientists and medical practitioners. By compiling data about these microorganisms, developments can be made to determine the most effective medicines for treating them. One such test to determine bacteria type, based on their metabolic waste, is the MR/VP test, or Methyl Red/Voges-Proskauer test and noting the reaction. Beyond determining bacteria ...

The most important task of a bacteriology is to identify the pathogens from the clinical sample so that appropriate treatment can be instituted. There are several methods to identified the different type of bacteria. They are, 1. Isolation in pure form 2. Staining reaction 3. Morphology of bacterial colony 4. Cultural characteristics 5. Metabolism 6. Biochemical properties Biochemical tests to identify different species of bacteria: • Case Study Tests • Indole • Methyl Red/Vo...
