| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| results for Serratia | gram -, orange colonies, DNase+ |
| results for Pseudomonas | Gram -, blue-green colonies, oxidase +, carb fermentation - |
| Results for E. coli | Gram -, neutral color, ferment lactose, indole +, MR+, VP-, Citrate- |
| Results for Enterobacter | Gram -, neutral color, ferment lactose, indole -, MR-, VP+, Citrate+ |
| Results for psudomonas | Gram -, neutral color, does not ferment lactose, no production of H2S, oxidase +, carb fermentation- |
| Results for proteus | Gram - , neutral color, does not ferment lactose, yes production of H2S, produce urease, indole + |
| Results for salmonella | Gram - , neutral color, does not ferment lactose, yes production of H2S |
| Results for Staphylococcus epidermis | Gram + , have catalase bubbles, growth on MSA, no ferment manatol, coagulase - , dnase - |
| Results for micrococcus luteus | Gram+ , have catalase bubbles, no growth on MSA |
| Results for Staphylococcus aureus | Gram + , have catalase bubbles, growth on MSA, yes ferment manatol, coagulase + , dnase + |
| Results for streptococcus pyogenes | Gram +, no catalase bubbles, beta hemalysis, sensitive to bacitracin, |
| Results for Enterococcus faecium | Gram +, no catalase bubbles, beta hemalysis, not sensitive bacitracin |
| Results for Streptococcus pnumoniae | Gram +, no catalase bubbles, alpha or gamma hemalysis, sensitive to optochin, bile solubility + |
| Results for Enterococcus faecalis | Gram +, no catalase bubbles, alpha or gamma hemalysis, not sensitive to optochin |
| lactose fermentation test | uses emb , phynl red or MacConkey agar. positive result generates acid and gas |
| Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar | inhibits growth of gram positive bacteria. tests for lactose fermentation, positive result pink or purple, E coli is green |
| Durham Lactose Broth | tests for lactose fermentation. glass vile inside a larger tube. positive result has cloudiness and a gas bubble |
| phenol red | used in urea test. tests for acid production. naturally red-orange. turns yellow in acid. turns pink in alkaline. |
| MacConkey (MAC) agar | tests for lactose fermentation. inhibits growth of gram positves. default yellow, turns pink when positve result |
| DNase test (or DNA hydrolysis test) | tests for production of DNase, which breaks down dna for food or disguise, uses methyl green or Toluidine Blue O |
| Methyl green | visual indicator for DNase Test Agar. A clear halo or colorless zone surrounding the bacterial growth is a positive result |
| Toluidine Blue O | visual indicator for DNase Test Agar. for positive result a bright pink halo forms around the colonies |
| indole test | test for ability to make tryptophanase. done via Tryptone Broth or SIM media. pink ring forms on surface for positive result. |
| Tryptone Broth | liquid medium used primarily to perform the Indole Test. needs Kovac's Reagent. |
| SIM (Sulfide-Indole-Motility) medium/media/agar | three-in-one semi-solid agar that tests for Sulfide production, Indole production, and Motility |
| Methyl Red (MR) test | determine if a bacterium performs mixed-acid fermentation. red if positive, yellow if negative, orange if mixed or inconclusive |
| Optochin | Antibiotic used to differentiate between s pnumoniae from other bacterium. Positive result as zone of inhibition |
| Blood agar | Used to observe hemolysis. Alpha = partial: greenish or brownish. Beta = complete: clear zone around cells. Gamma = none |
| Bacitracin | Antibiotic used to differentiate S pyogenes from other streptococcus |
| Catalase test | Tests for aerobic bacteria. Positive is vigorous bubbling when reagent of hydrogen peroxide is added. |
| Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) | Isolates Staphylococcus, who like salty environments. S. aureus is yellow, ferments the mannitol making acid. S. Epi makes it pink |
| Coagulase test | Determines whether bacterium produces coagulase. Positive result is clumping |
| DNase test | Tests for a dna breaker enzyme. Uses HCl, methyl green, or toluidine blue. Halo forms around colonies in positive result. |
| Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) slant agar | Tests for ability to ferment certain sugars and production of H2S gas. Red is neutral, yellow is acidic, pink is basic, Black is H2S. |
| Carb fermintation test | Used to tell if can ferment a specific sugar. Uses phenol red and inverted glass tube. Yellow+for acid, bubble in tube for gas+ |
| Urease test | urease hydrolyzes urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, pink is positive, |
| Voges-Proskauer (VP) test | if a bacterium ferments glucose via the butanediol pathway, making acid. positive is pink or red, negative is yellow or brown |
| Citrate Utilization Test | if live on only sodiumcitrate for carbon and ammoniumsalt for nitrogen. uses SimmonsCitrateAgar. +Intense Blue or growth |
| Simmons Citrate Agar | used for the citrate test |
