A useful technique for comparing different bacterial species based on if they are susceptible to infection by the same virus is called _____.
A)protein profile
B)virus profile
C)phage typing
D)serology

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phage typing is a technique that uses bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) to identify and compare bacterial species based on their susceptibility to infection by specific phages. This technique is often used in microbiology and epidemiology studies to identify the source of bacterial infections and track the spread of bacterial strains. Protein profile and serology techniques, on the other hand, are used to identify and compare proteins and antibodies in bacterial species, respectively. Virus profile is not a well-established term or technique in microbiology.
