Clinical microbiologists normally identify important isolates to the level of species and determine their susceptibility to antibiotics. These activities generate a species identification and provide some differentiation below the level of species in the form of a biotype and an antibiogram. Most other typing methods should be reserved for special studies or to investigate possible infection problems or outbreaks. Specialized techniques should usually be done in reference laboratories. These include serotyping, (complete antigenic analysis), bacteriophage susceptibility, and bacteriocin production or susceptibility.
临床微生物学家通常将重要的分离菌鉴定到种的水平，并确定它们对抗生素的敏感性。这些活动产生了菌种鉴定，并以生物型和抗菌谱的形式在种以下水平提供了一些区分。大多数其他分型方法应保留用于特殊研究或调查可能的感染问题或暴发。专业技术通常应在参考实验室进行。这些包括血清分型（完整的抗原分析）、噬菌体敏感性以及细菌素产生或敏感性。
