Ex: Staph, Strep, GPR, Most Neisseria species, etc. Isolation and Presumptive ID of Bacteroides fragilis group Isolation of Enterococcus species Cultivaton of many organisms Isolation of obligately anaerobic organisms Isolation of gram (+) organisms. Inhibition of gram (-) organisms Isolation of Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis Isolation of Legionella. Will also support the growth of Bordetella, Brucella, and Francisella tularensis Isolation of B. cepacia Isolation of Campylobacter jejuni subspecies jejuni and C. coli Isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica, which ferments mannitol and forms bullseye colonies. Also used to isolate Aeromonas from stool specimens Cultivation of fastidious organisms, including Haemophilus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Brucella Isolation of MRSA Gram (-) bacteria ability to utilize citrate Cultivation of many organisms Determines if organisms can ferment various carbs: maltose, lactose, sucrose. Differentiates Neisseria and Moraxella species Identifiation of certain anaerobic isolates Isolation of nonfastidious GNR. Inhibition of gram (+) organisms. E. coli (Strong lactose fermenter), Shigella and Salmonella (Non-lactose fermenters) Isolation of Salmonella and Shigella. Inhibition of gram (+) organisms and some gram (-).

Bacitracin susceptibility CAMP test Hippurate Hydrolysis PYR hydrolysis Optichin susceptibility Bile esculin hydrolysis Salt-Tolerance Test X and V Factor Requirement Oxidase Spot Indol Catalase Coagulase Hydrogen sulfide production Urease Motility Vibriotstatic compound, O/129 disc test ONPG Deoxycholate Cefinase
Purpose/Principle Some organisms are suseptible to 0.04 units of bacitracin. Inoculate agar for confluent growth; add disk. Measure GBS make CAMP factor. S aureus makes B-lysin. Hemolysis enhanced when CAMP factor meets B-lysin. Test organ Hippurate ---(Hippuricase)---> Sodium benzoate + glycine. Detect either benzoate or glycine. Benzoate + Ferric chlo Chemical reaction - detects B-naphthylamine Inoculate agar plate for confluent growth with isolate. Place disk onto inoculate area. Incubate plate; measure zon 40% bile inhibits many organisms. Esculin ---> Esculetin + Glucose. Esculetin + Ferric ions --> Black 6.5% salt inhibits many organisms. Inoculate broth with organism Test organism inoculated onto trypticase soy agar or Mueller-Hinton agar, which lack X and V factors. Paper disk w Chemical Reaction - Detects indophenol Rub organism onto reagent-impregnated filter paper. Place organism on slide and add drop of H2O2. Detect bubbles Prepare saline suspension, mix in drop of plasma H2S + Iron or lead ----> Black Medium becomes alkaline as ammonia is produced Stab organism into semisolid agar deep Inoculate agar for confluent growth, add disks, incubate plate and measure zone Chemical reaction - Yellow color change in positive reaction Added to agar in order, visible pitting in the agar -- positive reaction Beta-lactamase detection
