Transcription

1 Staphylococcus Medium-sized, raised, glistening colonies. The colonies are pigmented, the colour varying from grey-white, to yellow, or orange. MacConkey pink colonies means the organism ferments lactose. Gram +, growing on nutrient agar, or Staphylococcus aureus Gram positive cocci in clusters or clumps.. clear zone showing production of DNA ase by Staph. pseudintermedius

2 Streptococcus Gram-positive cocci. Catalase-negative. Attacks sugars by fermentation. Non-motile. Gram positive cocci in chains. MacConket negative (sensitive to bile salts). Alpha and beta haemolytic. Step. Uberis positive on Edwards medium ( produce aesculin Positive catalase test to differentiate Streptococci (-ve) from Staphylococci (+ve). DNA ase test pathogenic Staphylococci break down DNA in the medium because they have the enzyme DNA ase (A) Staph epidermidis (-ve), (B) Staph. aureus (+ve), and (C), Staph pseudintermedius (+ve).

3 Arcanobacterium pyogenes Gram-positive. Catalase-negative. Non-motile. Attacks sugars by fermentation, but the reaction is weak. Blood Agar plate which has been incubated with 5% carbondioxide for 24 hours. Small, grey-white, convex colonies.b haemolysis. Listeria monocytogenes Gram-positive rods. Catalase-positive. Attacks sugars fermentatively. Motile with characteristic slow, tumbling and rotary movements. Gram-positive short rodes with rounded ends. Some cells may be curved. Pinpoint to small, semi-transparent colonies. Clostridium perfringens

4 Gram-positive, large, spore-forming rods. Spores are rarely seen as the sporulation process requires a ph around 7.5. Catalase-negative. Anaerobic, although requirements for anaerobiosis are not as strict as for many Clostridia. Non-motile. on blood agar grown anaerobically note zones of Beta haemolysis colonial morphology varies considerably, sometimes even within the same culture. The colonies are small to medium sized and typically grey to grey-yellow and translucent. Some are smooth and dome-shaped with an entire margin, whilst others are rough with a lobate margin, still others are flat with an irregular surface and a filamentous margin. Large Gram positive rods Clostridium perfringens is non-proteolytic and is not associated with a distinct odour. sheep blood agar incubated anaerobically, - 2 colonial forms. Colony 1 = Gram negative rods Escherichia coli grows anaerobically. Colony 2 = Large Gram positive rods only grows on anaerobic plate = Clostridium species (Clostridium perfringens). Gram stain Gram positive rods Clostridium perfringens

5 Gram negative: E.coli Medium-sized grey colonies. The colonies have a characteristic odour. Gram-negative rods. Catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Attacks sugars by fermentation and gas is produced. Motile. Mesophilic. MacConkey pink (resistant) Gram-negative rods with parallel sides and rounded ends. Escherichia coli growing on nutrient agar. E. coli (C) grows on MacConkey with pink colonies (lactose fermenter)

6 sheep blood agar incubated aerobically, Large grey colonies, circular, entire edged 3mm in diameter Escherichia coli. Gram negative rods/coccobacilli Escherichia coli. MacConkey agar. Large lactose fermenting colonies Escherichia coli Salmonella: Gram-negative rods. Medium-sized, greyish colonies which cause no alteration of the blood. Catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Attacks sugars by fermentation and gas is produced (Salmonella Gallinarum is anaerogenic and Salmonella Pullorum is variable). Motile with the exception of Salmonella Gallinarum and Salmonella Pullorum. Salmonella typhimurium growing on nutrient agar. S. typhimurium (D) grows on MacConkey with colourless colonies (non-lactose fermenter. Salmonella isolation - DCA plate (Desoxycholate Citrate Agar) colonies grown from tetrathionate enrichment broth cultures. Black colonies are because of

7 hydrogen sulphide production. Colonies are colourless because this organism is a non lactose fermenter on DCA. Possible Salmonella species Actinobacillus Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae growing on Chocolate (heated blood) agar. A. pleuropneumoniae (B) does not grow on MacConkey. A. pleuropneumoniae (B) does not grow on Blood agar. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae growing on blood agar in the presence of Staph. aureus producing NAD. A. pleuropneumoniae forms tiny colonies using the NAD provided by S. aureus as a growth factor. Gram-negative rods/coccobacilli
