Question 5

Bile Esculin Test for what?

Answer 5

differentiate enterococci and group D streptococci,

Question 6

inhibitory agent in bile esculin test

Answer 6

4% Bile salts

Gram-positive bacteria other than some streptococci and enterococci are inhibited by the bile salts in this medium. Organisms capable of growth in the presence of 4% bile and able to hydrolyze esculin to esculetin.

Esculetin reacts with Fe3+ and forms a dark brown to black precipitate.

Question 7

Esculetin reacts with ____ and forms a dark brown to black precipitate.

Answer 7

Fe3+

(+): Enterococcus faecalis
(-): Streptococcus pyogenes

Question 8

catalase can what?

Answer 8

degrade hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen

Question 9

coagulase will react directly with??

Answer 9

fibrinogen

Question 10

Side note:

The clotting mechanism involves activation of a plasma coagulase-reacting factor (CRF), which is a modified or derived thrombin molecule, to form a coagulase-CRF complex. This complex in turn reacts with fibrinogen to produce the fibrin clot
