Q

Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Bacteroides
species are Gram-negative bacilli, and
normally found in human intestines,
they are considered non-
Enterobacteriaceae because?

A

They dont share the general characteristics of Enterobacteriaceae
P.aeruginosa is an obligate aerobe
and oxidase positive, whereas
Bacteroides is a strict anaerobe.

Q

You’re a public health epidemiologist who is called to investigate an outbreak of bloody diarrhea in 16 people. You find that it is associated with eating rare hamburgers in a particular fast-food restaurant. A culture of the remaining uncooked hamburger grows a gram-negative rod that produces a dark purple colony on EMB agar, which is evidence that it ferments lactose. Which one of the following bacteria is the most likely cause of this outbreak?
(A) Escherichia coli
(B) Salmonella enterica
(C) Salmonella typhi
(D) Shigella dysenteriae

A

Escherichia coli

Q

Regarding the members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, which one of the following is the most accurate?
(A) All members of the family are anaerobic, which means they must be cultured in the absence of oxygen.
(B) All members of the family ferment lactose, which is an important diagnostic criterion in the clinical laboratory.
(C) All members of the family have endotoxin, an important pathogenetic factor.
(D) All members of the family produce an enterotoxin, which ADP-ribosylates a G protein in human enterocytes.

A

All members of the family have endotoxin, an important pathogenetic factor.
