BACTE LAB LA13 Flashcards
a biochemical test used to differentiate Gram negative enteric bacteria based on carbohydrate fermentation, gas production, and hydrogen sulfide production
TRIPLE SUGAR IRON TEST
Carbohydrates included in the TSIA test
0.1% GLUCOSE
1% LACTOSE
1% SUCROSE
Identify the TSIA REACTION:
Alkaline slant over Acid Butt
Glucose Fermenters (K/A)
Identify the TSIA REACTION:
Acid Slant over Acid Butt
Glucose, Lactose and/ or Sucrose Fermenters (A/A)
Glucose, Lactose and/ or Sucrose Fermenters (A/A) Example bacteria
Enterobacter aerogenes,
Enterobacter cloacae,
Escherichia coli,
Klebsiella oxytoca,
Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Glucose Fermenters (K/A)
Example bacteria
Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter koseri, Morganella morganii
Identify the TSIA REACTION:
Red Slant, Red Butt or Red Slant, No Change in Butt
NONFERMENTERS (K/K, K/NC)
Peptones are metabolized both aerobically and anaerobically
K/K Non Fermenter
Peptones are metabolized aerobically only
K/NC Non fermenter
No carbohydrates are fermented, instead, peptones are utilized, increasing pH
NONFERMENTERS (K/K, K/NC)
NONFERMENTERS (K/K, K/NC) example bacteria
Acinetobacter spp.
Pseudomonas spp.
Identify the TSIA REACTION:
Presence of gas bubbles, cracks, or agar displacement
Gas Production
Example for Bacteria that are capable of Gas Production
Enterobacter aerogenes,
Enterobacter cloacae,
Escherichia coli,
Klebsiella oxytoca,
Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Identify the TSIA REACTION:
Alkaline slant over Acid Butt with Black precipitate
Glucose Fermenter with H2S Production (K/A, H2S (+))
Substance in TSIA Test that allows for the detection of H2S Production
Sodium Thiosulfate

Nonfermenter with H2S production (K/NC, H2S (+)) example bacteria
Shewanella spp.
a biochemical test used to differentiate bacteria based on their ability to decarboxylate, or deaminate lysine.
Lysine Iron Agar Test
If the organism ferments glucose, the medium turbs yellow in the butt due to acid production
Glucose Fermentation
Purple or Alkaline butt in LIA test
Lysine Decarboxylation
