The identification of serogroups typically involves laboratory techniques such as: - Serological tests: These tests use antibodies to detect specific antigens on the surface of microorganisms. - PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): This molecular technique can amplify DNA sequences specific to certain serogroups. - Whole-genome sequencing: Advanced genomic methods can provide comprehensive information about the genetic makeup of pathogens, including their serogroups.
