Gram + cocci Flashcards
Diagnosing: G+ cocci–> step 1 catalase +/-
catalase +/-
Diagnosing: G cocci –> catalase + —>
Staphyl-cocci
Diagnosing: G cocci –> catalase negative —> group
Strepto-cocci
Diagnosing: G cocci –> catalase negative–> step 3
hemolytic type: alpha, β, gamma
Diagnosing: G cocci –> catalase negative –> partial green hemolysis –> step 4
alpha hemolytic
Diagnosing: G cocci –> Cat neg –> complete hemolysis
β hemolytic
optochin resistant/bil insol
alpha hemolytic strep viridans
optochin sensitive, bil sol
alpha hemolytic strep pneumo
Bacitracin positive, PYR +
β hemolytic: strep pyogenes
CAMP +, PYR -
β hemolytic: strep agalactiea
Gram + cocci –> cat negative–> no hemolysis
gamma hemolytics
PYR+, grows in 6.5 NaCl, grows in bile
gamma hemolytic: enterococci
PYR-, does NOT 6.5 NaCl, grows in bile
gamma hemolytic: gallolyticus
