    Gamma.

    Lactose was fermented and pH indicator tripped.
  70. What is PEA plates used for?
    Selective for gram positive.
  71. What is used in the bile solubility test to distinguish the Streps?
    Desoxycholate.
  72. How to test for starch hydrolysis?
    Put on starch plate. Then iodine. Iodine will look like shoyu if exposed to starch. It's clear around bacteria if starch is used.
  73. Nitrate reduction tube is red after adding reagents A and B. What happened?
    Bacteria broke down Nitrate to Nitrite.
  74. Nitrate reduction tube didn't change after reagents A and B. What happened?
    • Bacteria either:
    • 1) reduced all nitrate to nitrogen gas
    • 2) didn't do anything to nitrate.

    To test, zinc is added. It reduces nitrate to nitrite. If it's red, nitrite was produced from the zinc so the bacteria didn't do anything. If no change, bacteria reduced nitrate to nitrogen gas.
  75. CAMP test to test for?
    Group B strep.
  76. How does CAMP test work?
    S. aureus can't hemolysize RBC completely. When group B strep is combined, it enhances S. aureus. So surrounds turn clear.
  77. Why shouldn't do catalase test on blood plate?
    Blood contains catalase.
  78. What does E. coli look like on an EMB plate?
    Metallic green.
  79. Proteus mirabalis swarms agar plates. True or False?
    True.
  80. Enterobacteriaceae oxidase + or -?
    Negative.
  81. Enterobactericeae lactose fermentator?
    Yes.
  82. Strep Group A (pyogenes) is what type of hemolysis?
    Beta.
