Study Notes
Gram Stain and Identification
- Aeromonas results in a Gram-negative stain.
- Campylobacter jejuni is definitively identified using the oxidase test.
- A bacterial strain producing smooth, convex, translucent colonies is typically associated with Staphylococcus aureus.
- 'Darting' motility is exhibited by Campylobacter species.
Culture Media and Tests
- The culture medium for identifying Helicobacter pylori is typically Campylobacter blood-free selective media.
- Indirect tests for detecting Helicobacter pylori presence include serological tests for antibodies.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae is identified using Thayer-Martin agar.
Pseudomonas Characteristics
- Pseudomonas stutzeri is uniquely differentiated by its ability to produce yellow colonies and its negative reaction to oxidase.
- Pseudomonas mendocina and Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes/alcaligenes are commonly characterized by their greenish pigmentation on culture.
- Pseudomonas mendocina is distinguished by its production of a specific brown pigment.
- Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes can be differentiated by being nitrate-reducing.
- Pseudomonas mosellii is noted for its ability to produce a sweet odor.
Urethritis and Gonorrhea
- Urethritis can be caused by various pathogens, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
- Microscopic morphology in gonococcal urethritis reveals Gram-negative diplococci within neutrophils.
- The recommended culture medium for Neisseria gonorrhoeae is Chocolate agar.
- The oxidase test for Neisseria gonorrhoeae shows a color change to dark purple for a positive result.
- Specimens not recommended for direct microscopic examination include throat swabs.
