III: Gram-Negative Bacilli (Fermenters) Flashcards
CPOP
Gram-negative comma-shaped, curved
Halophilic
Reduce Nitrate to Nitrite
Most of them are susceptible to O/129
Most are positive to String Test
Vibrio
Vibrio are halophilic EXCEPT:
V. cholerae
V. mimicus
Vibrio has what type of flagella
Peritrichous
Rapid Darting Motility / Shooting Star
Vibrio
A vibrio spp. characterized with RICE WATERY STOOL
V. cholerae
V. cholerae are cultured in
Alkaline Peptone Water
TCBS
In TCBS, Sucrose fermenter will have
Yellow colonies
All Vibrio are NSF except for:
V. cholerae
V. alginolyticus
It is a toxin that increases cAMP causing to have excessive secretion of Water and Electrolytes
Cholera toxin (choleragen)
Phenomenon by which there is a lysis of V.cholerae after injecting immunized host
Pfeiffer’s phenomenon
V. cholera Serogroups
Inaba - Philippines
Ogawa - India
Hikojima - Japan

strains that phenotypically V. cholerae O1 but does not agglutinate in 01 antisera
V. cholerae non-O1
Vibrio Test that uses O/129 (150 ug) impregnated disk
Vibriostatic Test
Vibrio spp that test (+) Vibriostatic
V. cholerae
Plesiomonas shigelloides
Vibriostatic Test (-)
Aeromonas
C. violaceum
String Test Reagent
0.5% Sodium Desoxycholate
Test that differentiates Aeromonas & Plesiomonas from Vibrio
String Test
