Study Notes
Bacterial Characteristics
- Vibrio cholerae has H and F antigens.
- Bacteriods are Gram-negative bacteria, non-sporing, and catalase-positive, but they are non-motile.
- Pseudomonads are adapted to live in all types of environments, but they do not ferment sugars.
- There are five types of Brucella.
- Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacteria, motile, and non-sporing, and some strains can form capsules.
- Streptococcus Viridans are lance-shaped, non-capsulated, sensitive to optochin, and bile soluble.
- Escherichia coli grows on MacConkey agar, forming colonies with a red pinkish color, due to the breakdown of lactose.
- Klebsiella has mucoid colonies due to the production of polysaccharides, not swarming.
- Vibrio cholerae has two biotypes.
- Penicillins and cephalosporins have a six-membered β-lactam ring, not a dihydrothiazin ring.
