21 iofilchem Oxi/FermPluriTest Codebook ev.0/ Appendix 2. ecommended Procedures for Confirmatory Tests. 1. Growth at 42 C (42C) Prepare a light suspension in a suitable liquid medium (e.g. Tryptic oy Broth) with not more than 1 colony of the isolate and incubate at 42 C (preferably in a water bath) for 18 to 24 hours. Growth is indicated by an increase of turbidity of the medium. 2. Antimicrobial disc diffusion tests Conventional disc diffusion procedures and the zone size limits usually used should be applied (use Mueller Hinton II Agar plates). Consider both intermediate and susceptible zones as susceptible () for this purpose. The following discs are used: Abbreviation Antimicrobial Concentration Amikacin 30 µg CA Carbenicillin 100 µg NO Novobiocin 30 µg PB ymyxin B 300 IU TE Tetracycline 30 µg TOB Tobramycin 10 µg 3. Catalase (Cat) Apply a drop of freshly prepared 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to a glass slide. With a loop, remove a colony of the isolate from a 24 to 48 h plate and mix it with the hydrogen peroxide drop. Bubble formation and foaming indicates a positive reaction. Alternatively, a drop of 3% hydrogen peroxide may be applied to the colonies grown on Tryptic oy Agar. Do not apply the hydrogen peroxide to blood agars, false positive reaction may occur. Alternatively use Catalase/OxyTest according to the procedure reported on the instructions sheet. 4. Cetrimide (Cet) treak the isolate on Pseudomonas (Cetrimide) Agar. Incubate for 18 to 24 hours at the optimal temperature of the isolate. Growth on this medium means positive. 5. Colony coloration (Col) treak the isolate on Trypticase oy Agar and incubate for 2 to 3 days at the optimal temperature. Inspect for colony coloration (normal, nonpigmented colonies appear white, gray, or pale yellow). Pigmented colonies appear yellow to brownish or violet, depending on the species. 6. DNase activity (DNA) treak the isolate on DNase Test Agar. Incubate for 2 days at 36 / 1 C. Flood the plate with 1 N HCl and wait for about 1 min. A clear zone is produced around DNase positive colonies while a homogeneously turbid medium indicates DNase negativity. 7. stain A variety of methods is given in the literature, all of which require some experience. 8. atinase () tabinoculate a tube with Nutrient atin with a heavy inoculum and incubate at room temperature. A positive test is indicated by liquefaction of the medium at the surface within 18 to 48 hours. Negative reaction: no liquefaction. 9. Growth on MacConkey II Agar (McC) Prepare a light suspension of the isolate in saline or Tryptic oy Broth and immediately inoculate a plate of MacConkey II Agar with a loopful of this suspension. Incubate at 36/1 C for 20 to 24 hours. If the strain shows poor growth on a blood plate incubated at 36/1 C, incubate the MacConkey II Agar plate at a lower temperature, but not longer than 48 hours. 18

22 iofilchem Oxi/FermPluriTest Codebook ev.0/ ility () Place a drop of a broth culture of the isolate which has been incubated for 6 to 8 hours at 25 C onto a slide. Place a cover slip onto the slide and observe by phase contrast microscopy (oil immersion) for motile bacteria. A regular oil immersion objective may also be used if the microscopic field can be darkened. True motility is shown by a rapid change in position of individual bacterial cells relative to other cells. 11. Nitrate reduction (NO3) Inoculate a tube of Nitrate Broth with a loopful of organisms taken from a pure culture. Incubate for 18 to 48 h at 32 to 36 C with cap slightly loosened. Evaluate the test by adding 0.5 ml of each of the two nitrate reagents to detect the formation of nitrite from nitrate (red coloration). If the reaction is negative (colorless), add some zinc dust to detect unused nitrate. If the color turns red after the addition of zinc dust, nitrate has not been used (negative reaction); if it remains colorless after the addition of zinc dust, nitrate has been reduced passed nitrite (denitrification, positive reaction). Alternatively use Nitrate Test according to the procedure reported on the instructions sheet. 12. ONPG The hydrolysis of ONPG (orthonitrophenylßdgalactoside) can be tested by means of an ONPG Disc. A yellow color indicates a positive reaction. 13. apid urease (Ur) A strong positive urea reaction in the Urea reaction chamber of the Oxi/FermPluriTest at 18 to 24 hours of incubation, indicated by a strong pink coloration is positive. 14. Acid formation from salicin (ali) Certain bacteria produce acids from salicin. Use CTA Medium with alicin for this test and follow the instructions given for this medium. Alternatively use alicin Test according to the procedure reported on the instructions sheet. 15. erology (serol) The identification results Vibrio cholerae and Pseudomonas pseudomallei must be confirmed by serological tests. 16. Beta hemolysis (ßhem) treak the isolate on a Columbia Agar (heep Blood 5%) plate. Incubate at the optimal temperature of the isolate not longer than 48 hours. Clear zones around the colonies indicate beta hemolysis. 17. Growth on TCB Agar (TCB) treak the isolate on a TCB Agar plate. An incubation temperature of 30 to 36 C is optimal. TCB Agar is a selective differential medium for Vibrio species. 18. VogesProskauer eaction (VP) Certain bacterial species produce acetoin (acetyl methyl carbinol) from glucose. The test can be conducted used the VP Test Kit following the procedure reported on the instructions sheet. 19
