  1. Bacterialidentification

  2. Bacterialidentification General approach for bacterial identification

  3. General approach for bacterial identification 4 steps : Step 1 : Sampling Step 2 : Culturing on isolation media Step 3 : Performing an identification technique Step 4 : Results = name of bacteria

  4. General approach for bacterial identification Different identification techniques • Physicalmethods • Based on the characterization of proteome of the bacteria • Geneticalmethods • Based on the characterization of specificsgenes of the bacteria • Biochemicalmethods • Based on the characterization of metabolicpathways of the bacteria To identify unknown bacteria , results are compared to databases

  5. Bacterialidentification Metabolism of the bacteria and biochemical bacterial identification

  6. Metabolism of the bacteria Bacteria are living cells who : - consume nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins…) - reject metabolic waste. Bacteria Enzymes Metabolic waste Nutrients Biochemical techniques for identifying bacteria are based on the characterization of enzymes and metabolic waste

  7. Metabolism of the bacteria The main metabolic pathways : Acidic molecules Carbohydrates Bacteria Enzymes Proteins, aminoacids Ammonia, CO2, amino… For some particular produced molecules, detection requires some special reagents These waste are frequently acidic or alkaline  Possibility of detection with a colorimetric pH indicator

  8. Application to the identification Example : research the ability to use glucose Bacteria inoculation Yellow color : • Acid pH • Production of acidic waste by bacteria • Proves the presence of enzymes which allow the use of glucose as nutrient by bacteria • Bacteria « glucose + » incubation Medium + glucose + pH indicator : -green color for pH = 7 -yellow color for acid pH (pH <7)

  9. Application to the identification How to differentiate bacteria ??? Examples with two bacteria : -E.coli can use as nutrient glucose, mannose, and arabinose but not amylose • Profile = GLU + MAN + ARA + AMY – -E.tarda can use as nutrient glucose, but non mannose, arabinose and amylose • Profile = GLU + MAN - ARA – AMY – Each bacteria has a specific biochemical profile

  10. Application to the identification How to identify an unknown bacteria with a biochemical method ?? 4 steps : 1-Incubate bacteria to test in media with different nutrient (usually 5 to 20)  one medium for one nutrient 2-After incubation, for each medium, determine the results positive or negative for each nutrient 3-Write the complete biochemical profile (+ - + + + - - + …) 4-Compare the profile with a database to identify your bacteria

  11. Bacterialidentification Identification media

  12. Tubes media Multi-test miniaturized systems Classics tubes Identification media Different packaging of identification media Agar plate media

  13. Bacterialidentification Multi-test miniaturized system : The API system

  14. The API system The most used API system… API Strep  Identification of Streptococcus species API Staph  Identification of Staphylococcus species API 20NE  Identification of Non Enterobacteria (Pseudomonas for example) API 20E  Identification of Enterobacteria

  15. The API system : introduction With an unknown bacteria to identify, which API system use ? … before use API system, it’s necessary to perform preliminary tests on bacteria to identify • Preliminary test 1 : Gram stain + microscopic observation  Distinguishes bacteria according to their form (cocci, rods) and their response to color (purple = Gram + bacteria, pink = Gram – bacteria) • Preliminary test 2 : Bacteria respiratory enzymes test  Distinguishes bacteria into groups according to the existence of two enzymes, « oxidase » enzyme, or « catalase » enzyme

  16. The API system With an unknown bacteria to identify, which API system use ? API Listeria for Listeria API NH for Neisseria Cocci Gram- Rods Gram+ API 50CH for Bacillus Results for the Gram stain Cocci Gram+ Catalase+ API Staph for Staphylococcus Oxidase + Rods Gram- API 20NE for no Enterobacteria Oxidase- Catalase- API 20E for Enterobacteria API Strep for Streptococcus

  17. 5 mL of sterile water The API system Introducing the API 20E system for Enterobacteria identification… 1 bacterial colony Fill microtubes gallery with the bacterial suspension

  18. The API system View of API 20E just after seeding… Metabolism of carbohydrates Nitrogen metabolisms and specific enzymes 24h / 37°C…..

  19. The API system API 20 E after incubation…Positive results for all tests : API 20 E after incubation…Negative results for all tests :

  20. The API system Example of results for bacteria to test : 1-Reading results : 2-Entering results in the database software:

  21. The API system Example of results for bacteria to test : 3-Expression of results by software : In this example we have a very good identification of bacteria Salmonella spp Name of the identified bacteria Quality identification

  22. The API system From the time when bacteria was collected and the results…it took two days … there are new and more rapid methods !!

  23. Bacterialidentification Innovative and rapid methods : Example of Andromas system

  24. Innovative and rapid methods : Andromas Andromas = automated system of bacterial identification using mass spectrophotometry  developed by a French team of researchers from Necker hospital in Paris Principle Physical detection of molecules (usually proteome) contained in bacteria cytoplasm by mass spectrometry + obtaining a specific detection profile which is compared to a database for identification

  25. Innovative and rapid methods : Andromas Bacteria Detection of molecules by mass spectrometry whitch creates a characteristic spectrum : Lysis of cell Comparison of the spectrum with spectrum of known bacteria in database  Bacteria are identified Extraction of molecules from cytoplam

  26. Innovative and rapid methods : Andromas Examples of real spectrum of bacteria

  27. Innovative and rapid methods : Andromas Comparison Andromas / Automated API system Automated API system Sampling + isolation Seeding API system + incubation Andromas analysis (less than 10 min) Andromas system Sampling + isolation Day 0 Day +1 Day +2 Analysis time Faster analysis system = interesting for doctors to get results quickly
