What reaction do nonfermenters produce on KIA?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the type of reaction that nonfermenters produce on KIA (Kligler's Iron Agar), specifically focusing on the notation for the reaction results, which includes gas production. Understanding microbiological growth and metabolic processes is necessary here.
Answer
K/K
The final answer is K/K.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is K/K.
More Information
Nonfermenters do not ferment glucose, resulting in no acid production. Hence, the media remains alkaline (K) both in the slant and the butt.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming nonfermenters produce acid. Remember, they do not ferment glucose or lactose.
