c. Stationary
d. Decline
Stationary
Lag – increase in size
Log – exponential growth
Decline – bacteria death

c. Released by living bacteria
d. Can be detected using blood of horse shoe crab
Can be detected using blood of horse shoe crab
A – exotoxin
B – it’s a lipopolysaccharide
C- exotoxin
True about Polysaccharide capsule
a. Inhibit phagocytosis, thus it is a chief determinant of phagocytosis
b. It is stained by india ink
c. It can be found in S. pneumoniae, S. agalactiae, and N. meningitides
d. A and C
A and C
Organic compound is the final electron acceptor
-Produces 2 ATP
-An anaerobic process
a. Fermentation
b. respiration
c. oxidation
d. a and c
Fermentation
In catalase test, 3% H 2 O 2 is converted to
a. CO2 and O2
b. O2 only
c. H2O
d. H2O and O2
H2O and O2
Positive reaction = bubbling or effervescence
The ff. are phenotypic characteristics of Micrococcus except
a. Does not ferment carbohydrate
b. Modified oxidase positive
c. Lysosome sensitive
d. Bacitracin Resistant
Bacitracin Resistant
it is bacitracin sensitive
The ff. are similarities of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus except
a. Cause multi -organ failure/TSS
b. Facultative anaerobe
c. Impetigo, folliculitis, and carbuncles
d. Cause clot production
Cause clot production
True about the principle of macrolide resistance (D test)
a. S.aureus is resistant to clindamycin
b. S. aureus is susceptible to Erythromycin
c. S. aureus becomes resistant to erythromycin when mixed with clindamycin
d. S. aureus becomes resistant to clindamycin when in synergy with erythromycin
S. aureus becomes resistant to clindamycin when in synergy with erythromycin
Erythromycin – resistant
Clindamycin – susceptible
Erythromycin + Clindamycin = Clindamycin resistance
Alpha-prime – small ring of __________ hemolysis which is surrounded by a wider ___ hemolysis
a. Complete, no
b. No, complete
c. Complete
d. No
No, complete
What is the principle of Neufeld Quellung test/method?
a. Complement activation by Ag-Ab complex
b. Biochemical reaction
c. Genetics
d. Capsular swelling
Complement activation by Ag-Ab complex
Complex media for LANCET/OVAL shape Streptococcus called S.pneumoniae?
a. Brain Heart infusion
b. Trypticase soy agar w/5% Sheep blood
c. Chocolate agar
d. AOTA
AOTA
What is the reagent in bile solubility test?
a. Bile
b. Sodium deoxycholate
c. ethylhydrocupreine hydrochloride
d. Hippurate and Ninhydrin
Sodium deoxycholate
To demonstrate streptolysin O, where should the technologist observe on SBA?
a. Stabbed part
b. Streaked part
c. Surface hemolysis
d. AOTA
Stabbed part
Streptolysin O is oxygen Labile, it will be neutralized in the presence of oxygen, therefore it won’t show activity in the SURFACE or Streak area
