TEst 3-9 (Major groups disease causing bacteria) Flashcards
1. List the gram staining and morphological properties of the bacterial genera described in the reading assignment. 2. Use the results from a catalase test to differentiate between the Streptococcus and Staphylococcus genera. 3. Use the hemolysis on blood agar and results from the Optochin and Bacitracin sensitivity tests to differentiate amongst the Streptococcus species. 4. Differentiate amongst the Staphylococcus species based upon results from the coagulase and Novobiocin sensitivity test
