Question
Answer
The IMViC tests are for gram negative bacteria called   enterobacteriaceae  
🗑
gram negative bacteria are shaped like   single rod bacilli  
🗑
After smearing enterobacteriaceae on a slide, 5 drops of Kovac's Reagent test   Indole  
🗑
What does the Indole test for?   the enzyme tryptophanase  
🗑
What are the products of tryptophanase in the indole test?   indole pyruvate ammonia  
🗑
positive indole test colors   deep red  
🗑
negative indole test colors   yellow  
🗑
all bacteria in the enterobacteriaceae family   ferment glucose  
🗑
If the MR test is red, what does that mean?   positive for fermentaion that produced mixed acids  
🗑
If the VP test is positive red, what does that mean?   positive for fermentation that produced acetoin.  
🗑
What does the VP stand for in the acetoin test?   Vogues-Proskauer  
🗑
The VP test and the MR test both cannot have same   result  
🗑
All bacteria in the enterobacteriaceae family   ferment glucose  
🗑
the ablity of enterobacteriaceae to utilize citrate as their sole carbon source   citrate test  
🗑
In the citrate test, what would the ph environment be like if citrate were the only carbon source?   Alkaline with a ph above 7.5  
🗑
a negative citrate result in colored   green  
🗑
a positive citrate result is colored   blue  
🗑
green with luxurious growth can also be a positive   citrate test  
🗑
Why do we use an innoculating needle for the TSI slant?   aerobic and anaerobic growth  
🗑
In a TSI slant, the top growth is   aerobic and acidic  
🗑
In a TSI slant, the bottom gowth is   anaerobic and alkaline  
🗑
In the TSI slant bubbles at the bottom of the slant indicate   fermentation gas  
🗑
The purpose of the TSI slant is to show   acid growth alkaline growth fermentation bubbles  
🗑
A positive aerobic TSI test shows   red on the top  
🗑
a positive anaerobic test will be colored   yellow on the butt  
🗑
a positive anaerobic test may include fermentation   bubbles and be yellow  
🗑
What does the urea test for?   exoenzyme urase  
🗑
What do the MR and VP tests look for?   Selective for gram negative Differential for acid and acetoin  
🗑
What does the indole test look for?   tryptophan>trytophanase>indole>ammonia>pyruvate  
🗑
The MCConkey plate tests for lactose fermentation, and if it is present, the colonies will be colored   pink  
🗑
XLD test is for sugar fermentaion, and if it is present it will be colored   yellow for acid production  
🗑
Why are microflora helpful?   strong immune system  
🗑
How do I find out if I have a gram positive or a gram negaive bacteria?   catalase test  
🗑
Bacteria that are always catalase positive are called   Staphylococcus  
🗑
What does catalase enzyme do?   it breaks down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.  
🗑
one slide, one drop of water, one drop of rabbit plasma   how to set up the coagulase enzyme test  
🗑
The result of the coagulase test should be   clumping if positive  
🗑
The bacteria that is positive for the coagulase test is caled   S. aureus  
🗑
The coagulase enzyme cause   fibrinogen  
🗑
is soluable in the blood   fibrinogen  
🗑
is insoluable in the blood   fibrin  
🗑
causes tiny blood clots during an infection to help hide from the body's white cells   fibrin  
🗑
What does the fibrin coagulate?   blood plasma  
🗑
phenol red is a   ph indicator  
🗑
What specific vitamins do intestinal microflora produce tha is helpful t the human body?   vitamin B vitamin K  
🗑
Why do bacteria produce the enzyme coagulase   to hide inside the clot as a protective barrier durig an infection  
🗑
