Presentation Transcript

  1. PRACTICAL Identification of unknown bacterium

  2. Why species level identification required? • To know which species is involved in the particular condition • To know the subspecies • To further know the types • Immunotypes, serotypes, chemotypes etc • Epidemiological studies

  3. Basic steps to follow

  4. Pure culture follow up-Day 1

  5. Pure culture follow up-Day 1

  6. First day – preliminary findings • Growth characteristics • Gram stain • Catalase • Oxidase • Motility

  7. Presumptive follow up

  8. Members of enterobacteriaceae:oxidase Negative Non enterobacteriaceae Oxidase positive • Escherichia • Klebsiella • Citrobacter • Salmonella • Shigella • Proteus • etc Vibrios Pseudomonas etc

  9. Members of enterobacteriaceae:oxidase Negative(example) • LF (ONPG) NLF • EscherichiaSalmonella • KlebsiellaShigella • CitrobacterProteus

  10. A gram negative rod on BA/Macconkey agars Non hemolytic, moist, irregular, flat, centrally raised, 3-5 mm colonies, Lactose fermenting, Flat,irregular centrally raised, moist 2-4 mm colonies

  11. Tests to read on second day • Check whether the culture is pure • Repeat catalase, oxidase,gram and motility to confirm previous day’s findings

  12. Biochemical tests TSI: A/A, Gas +, H2S Negative SIM: H2S,Neg, Indole: Positive., Motile Motility; (PW) Motile It could be ESCHERICHIA, CITROBACTER,OR ENTEROBACTER Glucose : Positive (Acid and Gas) Lactose : Positive Sucrose : Negative / Positive Mannitol : Positive Indole : Positive MR : Positive VP : Positive Citrate : Negative Urease : Negative Macconkey: LF Gram: Gram Negative rods Catalase: Positive Oxidase ; Negative LAO : +-+ Melonate: - KCN ; _ So it is Escherichia coli One of the members of Enterobacteriaceae
