19
Q

GN and Selenite Broth

A

support growth of Salmonella spp. & Shigella spp.
stool cultures subbed in this
good for small #s

20
Q

Coagulase tube test

A

Staph rxts w/ coagulase-reacting factor (thrombin like thermostable molecule) to form complex that converts fibrinogen to fibrin

21
Q

Rapid agglutination S. aureus

A

Use latex that detects clumping factor (w/ fibrinogen) and protein A (w/ IgG)

22
Q

Coagulase slide test

A

Clumping factor causes agglutination in human/rabbit/pig plasma by converting fibrinogen to fibrin

23
Q

sodium hippurate test

A

tests if bacteria can hydrolyze sodium hippurate to hippuric acid, glycine, and benzoic acid.
glycine deaminated by ninhydrin (oxidizer)
end prod. of oxidation forms purple dye

24
Q

CAMP test

A

ID Streptococcus agalactiae & Listeria monocytogenes
prod. proteins that interact with beta hemolysin in S. aureus to produce enhanced hemolysis
streak S. aureus in middle, test streak perpendicular to Staph but not touching
S. agalactia- arrow shaped zone of hemolysis
L. monocytogenes- rectangular shaped zone of hemolysis

25
catalase test
catalase decomposes hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water except for Strep most aerobic and facultative anaerobic bact. posses catalase transfer colonies to slide, add 1-3 drops 3% h2o2, look for bubbles w/in 5 sec. +: vigorous bubbling (S. aureus) -: no bubbles (S. pyogenes) weak +: a few bubbles (Enterococcus)
26
DNase test
DNase test agar: toluidine blue differential detect deoxyribonuclease activity: DNase depolylmerizes DNA= in presence of nucleotides from depolymerization pink to red zones around bact. growth differentiates Serratia from Enterobacter, S. aureus from CNS, and Moraxella catarrhalis from Neisseria spp. +: pink-red zone around growth (Serriatia marcescens, S. aureus) - : media blue/ unchanged (CNS)
27
Microdase test
differentiates Staph from Micrococcus DMSO in microdase disk provides solubility and stability against auto-oxidation; enhances permeability of TMDP into bact. cell in oxygen, oxidase + TMPD + cytochrome C= indophenol only be done on aerobic, catalase + GPC DO NOT USE with M. luteus (pig. interferes) place disk on slide, inculate disk w/ bact., examine for 2 mins. +: blue-purple/blue/brown color (Micrococcus) -: no color change (Staph)
28
Nitrate broth
bact. reduce nitrate-nitrite NO3 + 2e + 2H=== NO2 + H2O inculate nitrate medium with small loop from pure isolate, incubate 35-37*C for 18-24hrs. w/ loosened caps, examine for gas @ 18-24hrs. and @42-48hrs., after 24-48hrs. if gas test is + for nitrate===nitrogen gas, if not take 2mL of broth into clean tube, add 5 drops nitrate a and 5 drops nitrate b, shake + :pink/red color w/in 2 mins. If no color in 2 mins. add small amount zinc dust, mix if broth turns pink/red w/in 2 mins. nitrate is present so result is negative, if no color change result is positive +: pink/red w/in 2 mins or after zinc no color change (E. coli) -: no color change w/in 2mins or pink/red after zinc is added (Acinetobacter baumanii)
29
LAP test
prod. of leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) disk spot test disk has leucine-beta-naphthylamide hydrochloride, if LAP is present then substrate is hydrolyzed to release leucine and beta-naphthylamide (which combines w/ cinnamaldehyde to form pink/red color) mositen disk a little, inoculate heavily, after 10 mins. add 1 drop developer, look for pink/orange-pink/cherry red color after 5 mins. + : pink/orange-pink/cherry red (Aerococcus viridans, Entercoccus sp., Gemella morbillorum, Pediococcus, Streptococcus) - : yellow (Aerococcus urinae, Gemella haemolysans, Leuconostococcus) weak + : pink
30
VP test
voges-prokauer detects acetylmethcarbinol (acetoin) produced as a result of glucose metabolism prepare 2.0 mcfarland suspension of culture, incubate 35* C w/ loosened cap, at 24hrs. remove 1 mL to a tube, add 10 drops reagent A (5% alpha-naphthol), 5 drops reagent b (40% potassium hydroxide), shake for 30secs-1min, let sit for 15 mins look for pink-red color + : pink-red color (Enterobacter aerogenes) - : yellow (E. coli)
31
PDA
Phenylalanine, yeast extract, NaCl Tests for deminase enzyme of PDA (phenylalanine deaminase) Prod. Phenyl-pyruvic acid and ammonia Add FeCl3===green color
32
ONPG test
Ortho nitrophenol beta D galactopyranoside Tests for beta galactosidase Determines if late lactose fermenter
33
KIA
``` Kilger iron agar Tests for glucose and lactose fermentation and H2S prod. 1:10 glucose:lactose H2S: ferrus sulfate and Na thiosulfate Ak/Ak no fermentation Ak/A only glucose fermented A/A glucose and lactose fermented Black: H2S prod. ```
