ENTEROBACTERALES Flashcards
largest and most medically important family of gram-negative bacilli

lactose fermentation with neutral red pH indicator
MAC
E. coli O157:H7
negative in Sorbitol MUG
General Culture Media:
lactose + are pink or red that may be surrounded by bile salts
non lactose are colorless or transparent

bile salts, sodium citrate, and Brilliant green inhibitors
lactose fermentation and neutral red is the pH indicator
SSA
General Culture Media:

Salmonella are H2S + hence colorless with black center
SSA
General Culture Media:
Na deoxycholate less bile salts inhibitor
sucrose and lactose in excess and xylose in lower amounts
phenol red is the indicator
XLD
General Culture Media:
yellow: fermentation of the excess carbohydrates to produce acid and absence of lysine decarboxylase
colorless or red: lactose -
XLD
General Culture Media:
yellow to red: fermentation of xylose
XLD
colony characteristic of lactose fermenters:

colony characteristic of lactose fermenters:
greenish metallic sheen
E. coli in EMB
laboratory identification of Enterobacerales
