Bacteriology

The culture on basic and selective-diagnostic culture media in aerobic, microaerophilic and anaerobic conditions is used for detection of pathogenic, opportunistic and usual microflora in laboratory rodents and rabbits. After microorganisms in pure culture are isolated, the microscopic examination of colonies and identification of bacteria with MALDI-TOF or sequencing are performed. Molecular biology methods (PCR, real-time PCR), serological methods (ELISA, IFA, RPR, MAT) and histology are used for detection of some non-culturable bacteria. The result of identification all pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria is accompanied with a professional commentary.
