Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of API Klinger Iron Agar (KIA) in the identification of enteric bacteria?

  • To detect the presence of ferrous sulphate and gas production
  • To observe the formation of cracks in the medium
  • To differentiate based on the fermentation of dextrose, lactose, and H2S production (correct)
  • To identify based on the presence of phenol red and sodium thiosulphate
  • What is the role of phenol red in KIA?

  • Inhibits the production of hydrogen sulphide
  • Promotes the production of gas bubbles
  • Acts as a pH indicator to show a change in the color of the agar (correct)
  • Enhances the fermentation of lactose
  • What color does the agar turn when acid is produced during the fermentation of dextrose?

  • Red to yellow (correct)
  • Remains pink
  • Yellow to red
  • Black
  • What does the fermentation of lactose produce in KIA?
