Differential media: growth media that allow identification of microorganisms based on the phenotypic properties. Enriched media: media that allow metabolically fastidious to grow because of the addition of specific growth factors. Enrichment culture: the use of select culture media and incubation conditions to isolate microorganisms from natural samples. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa): a test that uses antibodies linked to enzymes to detect antigens or antibodies in body fluids. Fluorescent antibody: an antibody molecule covalently modified with a fluorescent dye that makes the antibody visible under fluorescent light. General purpose media: growth media that support the growth of most aerobic and facultatively aerobic organisms. Hemagglutination: agglutination of a red blood cells and is the basis for human blood typing. Hybridoma: hybrid cell lines that result from the b cell-myeloma.
