Q

Methyl red

32
Q

Voges-Proskauer

A

Acids formed are metabolized to 2,3-butanediol through acetoin, alpha napthol & 40% KOH are added, resulting in a red complex

33
Q

Citrate

A

Uses citrate as sole source of carbon

34
Q

Urea

A

If organism an hydrolyze urea to ammonia

35
Q

Amino acid degradation

-Lysine

A

–> cadaverine

36
Q

Amino acid degradation

-Arginine

A

–> putrescine (production of ammonia causes color change)

37
Q

Amino acid degradation

-Ornithine

A

–> putrescine (production of ammonia causes color change)

38
Q

ONPG

A

If organism ahs B-galactosidase, it acts on ONPG to produce galactose & orthonitrophenol - a neg reaction will occur if the org is a non-lactose fermenter

39
Q

PYR

A

The organism can hydrolyze the substrate PYR

  • L-prolidonyl-B naphthylamide
  • L-pyroglutamic acid-B naphthylamide
40
Q

Hippurate

A

If organism has enzyme hippicurase, will hydrolyze sodium hippurate

41
Q

Hydrogen sulfide

A

Organism’s ability to produce H2S

42
Q

Tryptophan deaminase (TDA)

A

Produces indole pyruvic acid which reacts with ferric ammonium citrate in the medium after addition of ferric chloride to produce a brown color

43
Q

Nitrate

A

Conversion of nitrate to nitrite

44
Q

Esculin

A

If organism hydrolyzes esculin, the product will react with ferric salt to form a black precipitate

45
Q

Why suspected Salmonella species isolates boiled for 20 if no reaction with O typing sera

A

Vi antigen may block the O antigen & may give a false negative.
If Vi antigen is heated, it will be removed & allow access to the O antigen

46
Q

Sorbitol MacConkey agar isolation pathogen

A

E.coli O157:H7
Causes hemorrhagic diarrhea & hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Appears as a clear/colorless colony on SMAC

47
Q

Indole positive Proteus

A

Proteus vulgaris

48
Q

3 sources Salmonella typhi can be isolated from during typhoid fever

A

Blood, gallbladder, GI tract

49
Q

Carrier state

A

Carriers shed organisms continuously or intermittently & feces may contaminate food or water sources

50
Q

Treatment of Salmonella gastroenteritis

A

If treated by antibiotics, patient may have a higher risk for developing carrier state
If treatment is necessary, use trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole

51
Q

Purpose of MacConkey & eosin Methylene Blue agar

A

Selective: isolate gram neg rods, inhibit gram pos
differential: lactose positive & negative

52
Q

E. coli on EMB agar

A

Forms blue-black colonies with metallic-greenish sheen

53
Q

GN broth purpose

A

Selective enrichment media that inhibits gram pos bacteria & has high % of mannitol, which temporarily favors mannitol-fermenting gram neg rods

54
Q

Zinc dust use in nitrate test

A

If neg color reaction, zinc dust added to the nitrate test will show a color if nitrate is still present, which shows a true negative
If true neg color reaction, the nitrate has been reduced to nitrite then further reduced to gaseous products or a true pos reaction

55
Q

Non-lactose & lactose fermenters on EMB

A

Non-lactose: translucent, amber color

Lactose: pink

56
Q

Non-lactose & lactose fermenters on MAC

A

Non-lactose fermenters: colorless of transparent

Lactose: pink/red

57
Q

Non-lactose & lactose fermenters on HE

A

non-lactose: green/blue green. black H2s

Lactose: orange/salmon-pink

58
Q

Non-lactose & lactose fermenters on XLD

A

Non-lactose: red/colorless. black H2S

Lactose: yellow

59
Q

Non-lactose & lactose fermenters on TERGITOL-7

A

Non-lactose: red

lactose: green/blue

60
Q

Coliforms

A

Organisms commonly seen in GI tract (neg rods) as normal for a
-E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus, Pseudomonas

61
Q

Tribe with strong positive urea reaction

A

Proteeae tribe

62
Q

Vitek system

A

Inoculum size is small & is an enclosed walk-away system

63
Q

Microscan system

A

Fluorescent color change. If the microbe begins to se the substance in the well, it breaks a quenching bond for fl. and the well will fluoresce.
