Vibrio that CAN ferment sucrose
Vibriocholerae
Vibrio that CANNOT ferment sucrose
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
• Ornithine decarboxylase test
- Bromocresol purple
- Cresol red
- Dextrose fermentation
- Putrescine production
• Bacterial culture
- MacConkey agar
- Xylose desoxychocolate agar
- Desoxychocolate citrate agar
• ELISA (S. dystenteriae)
• Rapid test
Shigellosis
caused by Shigella SONNEI
myocarditis
caused by Shigella FLEXNERI
reactive arthritis
(2) with Hemolytic Uremic Syndome
- Shigellosis
- Collibacillosis
• Brilliant Green agar
- placenta
- feces
- fetal tissue
- blood
- eggs
- bone marrow
• PCR
• ELISA
• Agglutination test*
Salmonellosis
most reliable: Pulsed field gel electrophoresis
• Trypticase soy broth
• Sorbitol-MacConkey agar + Phage typing
• Restriction fragment length POLYmorphism
• PCR
• Rapid tests
- Immunological
- Nucleic acid-based
- detect O & H antigens
Collibacillosis
bacterial culture for Y. enterolytica
Cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin
bacterial culture for Y. pseudotuberculosis
MacConkey
ELISA may have false-postive due to cross-contamination of other bacteria
Yersiniosis
immunoblot assay
