Q

Use of the EMB Agar, to interpret results. Which organisms grow in this medium?

A

EMB Agar is used to isolate and differentiate Gram-negative enteric bacteria. Strong lactose fermenters, like Escherichia coli, produce dark purple to black colonies with a metallic green sheen. Non-lactose fermenters, like Salmonella and Shigella, produce colorless colonies.

93
Q

Blood Agar hemolysis recognition.

A

Blood Agar is a rich medium used to differentiate bacterial species based on their hemolytic properties, which are their ability to lyse red blood cells. There are three main types of hemolysis:

Alpha Hemolysis (α-hemolysis):

Appearance: Partial hemolysis; greenish or brownish discoloration around the colonies.
Mechanism: Partial breakdown of hemoglobin to methemoglobin.
Examples of Organisms: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus viridans group.
Beta Hemolysis (β-hemolysis):

Appearance: Complete hemolysis; clear, transparent zone surrounding the colonies.
Mechanism: Complete lysis of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
Examples of Organisms: Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Strep), Staphylococcus aureus.
Gamma Hemolysis (γ-hemolysis or non-hemolysis):

Appearance: No hemolysis; no change in the appearance of the agar around the colonies.
Mechanism: No lysis of red blood cells.
Examples of Organisms: Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Recognizing Hemolysis on Blood Agar
Alpha Hemolysis: Look for a greenish or brownish zone around colonies.
Beta Hemolysis: Look for a clear, transparent zone around colonies.
Gamma Hemolysis: Look for no change in the agar around colonies.

96
Q

Oxidative catabolism and where occurs.

A

Oxidative catabolism occurs primarily in the mitochondria and involves the breakdown of molecules to produce ATP using oxygen. Key steps include glycolysis in the cytoplasm, followed by pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain in the mitochondria.

97
Q

Blood Agar hemolysis.

A

Blood agar hemolysis refers to the breakdown of red blood cells (RBCs) in blood agar plates by bacterial enzymes called hemolysins. There are three types of hemolysis observed:

Alpha (α) Hemolysis: Partial hemolysis resulting in a greenish discoloration around colonies due to the partial breakdown of hemoglobin into methemoglobin. Example: Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Beta (β) Hemolysis: Complete hemolysis creating a clear zone around the colonies. Example: Streptococcus pyogenes.

Gamma (γ) Hemolysis: No hemolysis, with no change in the medium around the colonies. Example: Enterococcus faecalis.

98
Q

Identify the various stages is bacterial growth.

A

The bacterial growth curve includes the following stages:

Lag Phase: Bacteria adapt to their new environment, and there is little to no cell division.

Log (Exponential) Phase: Bacteria multiply rapidly, and the population size doubles at a constant rate.

Stationary Phase: The growth rate slows as resources become limited, and the rate of cell division equals the rate of cell death.

Death (Decline) Phase: Nutrients are depleted, and waste products accumulate, leading to a decline in the bacterial population.

99
Q

Identify the pattern of growth according to oxygen use

A

Bacteria can be classified based on their oxygen requirements:

Obligate Aerobes: Require oxygen for growth. Example: Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Obligate Anaerobes: Cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. Example: Clostridium botulinum.

Facultative Anaerobes: Can grow with or without oxygen but grow better with oxygen. Example: Escherichia coli.

Microaerophiles: Require oxygen at lower concentrations than atmospheric levels. Example: Helicobacter pylori.

Aerotolerant Anaerobes: Do not require oxygen but are not harmed by its presence. Example: Lactobacillus spp.
