Fecal pathogens are generally
NLFs
Lactose Fermenters:
- Enterobacter spp.
- Escherichia coli
- Klebsiella spp.
Late Lactose Fermenters:
- Citrobacter spp.
- S. sonnei
- Hafnia spp
Non-Lactose Fermenters:
- Edwardsiella spp
- Morganella spp.
- Proteus spp.
- Providencia
- Salmonella spp.
- Shigella spp.
- Yersinia spp.
- Erwinia (plant pathogen)
• It is used to differentiate E. coli 0157:H7 (sorbitol -) from other types of E. coli (sorbitol)
Mac Conkey -Sorbitol agar
• It is useful to isolate Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. from heavily contaminated specimens such as stool.
• It contain hiosulfateland ferric ammonium sulfate, which produce blackening of H25-producing bacteria.
XLD and HE agars
• = LF yellow colonies (yellow with black center-C. freundil)
• colonies(green with black center-Proteus)
• = NLF red colonies (red with black center-S. enterica)
HEA
NLF green
XLD
• It is the confirmatory test for Salmonella and Shigella
Serotyping (Slide Agglutination Test)
Serotyping
• Preferred media for testing:
• The use of_____-containing media (Mac Conkey or TSI) for testing can cause the organism to autoagglutinate.

Serogroups of Shigella:
1. Serogroup A -
2. Serogroup B -
3. Serogroup C -
4. Serogroup D -
S. dysenteriae
S. flexneri
S. boydii
S. sonnei (only one serotype)
