A

C

20
Q

A. All Enterobacteriaceae produce gas from glucose.
B. All Enterobacteriacea ferment glucose.
C. All Enterobacteriaceae are facultative anaerobes.
D. All Enterobacteriaceae are oxidase negative.

Which is false?

A

A

21
Q

Purpose of MR-VP tests

A

determine which metabolic pathway is utilized by the Enterobacteriaceae species in question

22
Q

A. Proteus species produce urease.
B. An Enterobacteriaceae species can be both MR+ and VP+
C. Proteus species are motile.
D. An Enterobacteriaceae species can be both MR- and VP-

Which is false?

A

B

23
Q

action of gelatinase

A

hydrolyzes gelatin

24
Q

reagents added to Voges-Proskauer test

A

alpha-naphthol

potassium hydroxide

25
Q

False about Proteus

a. Positive in urease
b. Produces H2S
c. Negative in Phenylalanine deaminase

A

C

26
Q

Reagents added to Nitrate Reduction Test

A

sulfanilic acid and α-naphthylamine

27
Q

Which is false about Nitrate Reduction Test?
A. If the medium turns red after the addition of the nitrate reagents, it is considered a positive result for nitrate reduction.
B. If the medium does not turn red after the addition of the reagents, it only means that the organism was unable to reduce the nitrate.
C. If the tube turns red after the addition of the zinc, it means that unreduced nitrate was present. Therefore, a red color on the second step is a negative result.

A

B

If the medium does not turn red after the addition of the reagents, it can mean that the organism was unable to reduce the nitrate, or it could mean that the organism was able to denitrify the nitrate or nitrite to produce ammonia or molecular nitrogen. This is why Zn is added.

28
Q

False about Enterobacter species

a. non-motile
b. rapid lactose fermenters
c. form pigmented colonies
d. has ornithine decarboxylase

A

A
