Biochemical testing used for identification of pathogens involves each of the following, except
A)inoculation of additional media, incubation, and observation for a color change.
B)quick tests that take just a few seconds.
C)examining organisms through the microscope.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biochemical testing for pathogen identification typically involves inoculating media, observing for color changes after incubation, and performing quick tests. Examining organisms through a microscope, while a common practice in microbiology for initial identification or morphology assessment, is not a biochemical test. Biochemical tests are focused on the chemical reactions that occur between the bacteria and specific substrates, not on physical observation under a microscope.
