Introduction:
It is imperative to understand why one would want to differentiate between multiple types
of bacteria. In order for a person to receive proper treatment for a certain pathogen, the microbe
has to be first identified. This whole process is done for the reason that different treatments may
work effectively against one microbe, while it may prove to be ineffective against another. Also,
microbe identification is significant in processing of certain foods and development of antibiotics.
The overall purpose and aim of this investigation is to identify an unknown sample of bacteria
retrieved from the oral cavity of a group member. The following study was performed by following
a series of protocols and techniques listed in the lab manual given from Professor Takayuki Nitta
(Reference).
