Answer :
C) Phage typing techniques employs viruses for the purpose of identifying a particular bacterial strain.
Phage typing is a method that uses bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) to detect and identify specific bacterial strains.
This is done by exposing the bacterial strain to different types of bacteriophages and observing whether the phages can infect and lyse (breakdown) the bacteria.
This method is especially useful for distinguishing between closely related bacterial species that may be difficult to identify through other techniques.
Other mentioned techniques are:
Molecular typing involves analyzing the genetic material of bacteria to identify them.
Antibiogram tests determine bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
Biochemical typing identifies bacteria based on their biochemical properties.
