With this test, another test to figure out the “oxygen requirements” of the organism was done in a “thioglycollate agar tube” from which will allow the organism to grow either towards the top of the agar where oxygen exists, an “aerobic” microbe, or to the bottom of the tube where its considered “anaerobic”, or dispersed between the tube to show that it’s a “facultative anaerobe” (MB 352 Laboratory manual pg 47). Considering that after incubation, the organism did not grow through the tube but stayed rather stationary and near the bottom, showed that it appeared to be anaerobic, but this conclusion is inaccurate with my hypothesis, since Enterobacter aerogenes is considered to be “facultative” based on page 85 of the lab manual appendix E (MB 352 Laboratory manual pg 37, 41, 85).
Additional testing was done in lab 5, from which we utilized tests with “SIM agar deep tubes, nitrate reductase, protein hydrolysis, catalase, and cytochrome oxidase” (MB 352 Laboratory manual pg 48). The “SIM test” or “sulfide-Indole-Motility” had three parts to see “sulfide production”, …show more content…
By “inactivating enzymes, alteration of drug targets and alteration of the ability of drugs to enter and or accumulate in its cells”, Enterobacter aerogenes has an interesting way of combating drugs (Enterobacter Aerogenes). This organism lives in “the endogenous human gastro-intestine”, “soil”, “water”, “and in dairy products” (Enterobacter Aerogenes). This bacteria would be likely to cause an outbreak if it becomes virulent through transformation because its drug resistance would become a huge problem in combating this microbe and its presence in soil and water meaning that its mode of transportation has several places where it can exist and therefore contaminate water ways and crops making it a very high risk bacteria (Enterobacter
