FSC 342 EXAM 1 VERIFIED STUDY GUIDE
Serotyping - Answers - Reactivity of two surface structures: O antigen on cell wall, and
H antigen on flagella.
Phage Typing - Answers - Strains withing a particular serotype differentiated based
upon their patterns of susceptibility to lysis by a series of bacteriophages.
Biotyping - Answers - Different fermentation reactions with selected substrates, in many
serotypes there are few biochemical tests in which significantly numbers of strains
behave differently.
Plasmid Typing - Answers - Alternative typing strategy provided that the strain contains
plasmids.
Enteric - Answers - Bacterial members of the family Enterobacteriaceae that are Gram-
negative rods, are nonmotile or motile by peritrichous flagella, and are facultative
anaerobes.
Coliform - Answers - Commonly found in soil, on vegetation, and in surface water. They
also live in the intestine of warm-blooded animals.
