Enterobacteriaceae 2

Testing Media

Media NameCharacteristics of Media
Hektoen Agar (HE) Selective for Enteric pathogens Contains bile salts & dyes - cause the slow growth of nonpathogenic GI organisms while encouraging the growth of pathogens Salmonella and Shigella HE media - differential for lactose fermentation & H2S production
XLD agar – Xylose, Lysine, and Desoxycholate agar Selective & Differential for Salmonella and Shigella fermenters – appear yellow = acid NonFermenters = appear red due to phenol red indicator in alkaline environment H2S producers will have black centers (Salmonella) Desoxy. salt = inhibit Gram +
SS – Salmonella Shigella agar Inhibits non-enteric pathogens by brilliant green dye and bile salts Neutral red is the indicator Salmonella and Shigella will be clear Lactose fermenters will be pink/red H2S production is shown as black
GN or Gram Negative Broth Selective broth for Gram – growth Contains bile salts = inhibit growth of Gram + & the early multiplication of Gram – non-pathogenic enterics Broth must be subcultured in 6-8 hours / Selenite broth – an alternative to GN broth
CIN Agar - (Cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin) media Highly selective medium to isolate Y. enterocolitica Selective chemical agents, antibiotics, dyes, basal medium. highly selective against growth of E. coli, K pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, P. aeruginosa, S. typhimurium, S. sonnei and S. faecalis.
Selective agar -Sorbitol-MacConkey Indicates sorbitol fermentation as opposed to lactose. EHEC - E.coli O157:H7 is a nonfermenter of sorbitol and colonies will be clear (negative) Other E. coli do ferment sorbitol, and the colonies will be pink (positive)

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
