Phage Typing
Phage typing is a Phenotype, phenotypic method that uses Bacteriophage, bacteriophages ("phages" for short) for detecting and identifying single Strain (biology), strains of bacteria. Phages are viruses that infect bacteria and may lead to bacterial cell lysis. The bacterial strain is assigned a type based on its lysis pattern. Phage typing was used to trace the source of infectious outbreaks throughout the 1900s, but it has been replaced by genotypic methods such as whole genome sequencing for Epidemiology, epidemiological characterization. Principle Phage typing is based on the specific binding of phages to Antigen, antigens and receptors on the surface of bacteria and the resulting bacterial lysis or lack thereof. The binding process is known as adsorption. Once a phage adsorbs to the surface of a bacteria, it may undergo either the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. Virulent phages enter the lytic cycle where they replicate and lyse the bacterial cell. Virulent phages can di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
