Study Notes
Vibrio Species Characteristics
- Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a lactose fermenter.
- Vibrio vulnificus is capable of growth on MacConkey agar and is oxidase positive.
- Vibrio alginolyticus is non-halophilic and alkalinophilic.
Vibrio cholerae Characteristics
- Vibrio cholerae causes cholera and produces rice watery stool.
- Vibrio cholerae O1 serotype is associated with a mucoid, agglutination (cholera red) reaction.
- Vibrio cholerae forms smooth and yellow colonies on Thiosulfate–citrate–bile salts–sucrose agar after 24 hours.
- A string test for Vibrio species is positive, indicating the presence of an agglutinin.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Characteristics
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow in a temperature range of 25-42°C.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a blue-green pigment called pyocyanin.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes ventilator-associated pneumonia and is known as the 'agent of blue-green pus'.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces pyocyanin and is commonly associated with causing swimmer's ear.
Other Bacterial Species Characteristics
- Aeromonas hydrophila is non-halophilic and capable of causing wound and ear infection.
- Aeromonas hydrophila is an obligatory aerobe and has a grapelike or corn tortilla odor.
- Vibrio mimicus causes gastroenteritis and is commonly found in contaminated water and seafood.
- Vibrio vulnificus is halophilic and causes wound and ear infection.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with 'hot tub/jacuzzi folliculitis'.
- Vibrio cholerae causes severe dehydration, loss of fluids and electrolytes, severe muscle cramping, and anuria.
