  2. Alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_phosphatase

    The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase, also abbreviated PhoA) is a phosphatase with the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds. The enzyme is found across a multitude of organisms, prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike, with the same general function, but in different structural forms suitable to the environment they function in. Alkaline phosphatase is found ...

  3. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

    Bacteria are not able to grow around antibiotics to which they are sensitive. This is called "the zone of inhibition". Antibiotic sensitivity testing or antibiotic susceptibility testing is the measurement of the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics. It is used because bacteria may have resistance to some antibiotics.

  4. McFarland standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFarland_standards

    An example of such testing is antibiotic susceptibility testing by measurement of minimum inhibitory concentration which is routinely used in medical microbiology and research. If a suspension used is too heavy or too dilute, an erroneous result (either falsely resistant or falsely susceptible) for any given antimicrobial agent could occur.

  5. Enzyme assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_assay

    Enzyme activity is a measure of the quantity of active enzyme present and is thus dependent on various physical conditions, which should be specified. It is calculated using the following formula: a = n t = r × V {\displaystyle \mathrm {a} =\mathrm {n} _{\text{t}}=\mathrm {r} \times \mathrm {V} }

  6. Disk diffusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_diffusion_test

    The disk diffusion test (also known as the agar diffusion test, Kirby–Bauer test, disc-diffusion antibiotic susceptibility test, disc-diffusion antibiotic sensitivity test and KB test) is a culture-based microbiology assay used in diagnostic and drug discovery laboratories. In diagnostic labs, the assay is used to determine the susceptibility ...

  7. Analytical profile index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_profile_index

    Identification is only possible with a microbiological culture.API test strips consist of wells containing dehydrated substrates such as the redox substrates, electrogenic substrates and luminogenic substrates to detect enzymatic activity, usually related to the fermentation of carbohydrate or catabolism of proteins or amino acids by the inoculated organisms.

  8. Diagnostic microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_Microbiology

    The aminopeptidase test analyzes bacteria for the production of the enzyme L-alanine-aminopeptidase, an enzyme found in many gram-negative bacteria. Adding L-Alanine-4-nitroanilide hydrochloride to a bacterial culture works as an indicator, changing to a yellow color in the presence of L-alanine-aminopeptidase.

  9. Impedance microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_microbiology

    A portable embedded system for microbial concentration measurement in liquid and semi-liquid media using impedance microbiology has been recently proposed. [16] [17] The system is composed of a thermoregulated incubation chamber where the sample under test is stored and a controller for thermoregulation and impedance measurements.
