Identification and Differentiation of Microorganisms by Phenotypic and Molecular Approach

Phenotypic identification versus molecular identification: types of characteristics and techniques. Taxonomic resolution of a technique. Types of phenotypic characteristics used in bacteriology. Advantages of identification systems based on molecular data. Genome size and molar G+C content. Genomic methods of differentiation: total DNA restriction polymorphisms (macrorestriction); PCR-based methods (RAPD, MSP-PCR); sequence analysis (MLST). The concept of "fingerprinting."
