Bacteria and Mold Identification

MQA Bacteria and Mold IdentificationBacterial isolate characterization services include two methods: Phenotypic – bioMerieux API ID system and Genotypic – Dupont RiboPrinter system.

Genotypic – Dupont RiboPrinter

The RiboPrinter® microbial characterization system provides the speed, accuracy, and resolution needed to identify bacteria and then compare them at the strain level for efficient and consistent characterization. Using powerful DNA-based information, the RiboPrinter® system provides an automated genetic snapshot (RiboPrint® pattern) of any bacterial strain in less than eight hours. RiboPrint® patterns identify and characterize environmental isolates, pathogens, spoilage organisms, control strains, beneficial organisms, or any bacterium that is important to the pharmaceutical, personal care, and food safety industries.

Phenotypic – bioMerieux API ID

The bioMerieux API system is a phenotypic system that uses an index profile database. The API bacteria identification includes organism isolation: Gram stain, Oxidase, or Catalase and the ID.

Mold identification is performed by macroscopic and microscopic examination of the isolate. Additional confirmatory testing services are as follows:

Assay Description Service Code
Organism isolation with colony morphology and Gram stain ML31
Spore stain ML32
Isolate Enrichment to recover slow growing organisms ML33
Bacteria ID by API ML34
Mold ID – ID to genus by microscopic examination ML35
API phenotypic ML36
RiboPrinter characterization ML37 (same day or 24 hrs)
ML38 (7 day TAT)
ML39 (14 TAT)
