MAC

MacConkey Agar

Purpose of MAC

Isolation of gram negative enterics

Category of MAC

Selective and differential

Inoculation of MAC

quadrant streak

What is the special inoculation technique used only for the urine test?

semiquantitative method using the volumetric loop

What are the special ingredients for MAC?

SA=Bile salts and crystal violet


DA=lactose


pH indicator=neutral red

Reading criteria for MAC

purple growth= (+)lactose fermentation


colorless growth=(-) lactose fermentation

MSA

Mannitol Salt Agar

Purpose of MSA

isolates and differentiates halotolerant species

Category of MSA

selective and differential

Inoculation technique for MSA

quadrant streak

Special ingredients for MSA-mannitol salt agar

SA=7.5 % NaCI


DA= Mannitol


pH indicator=phenol red





Reading criteria for MSA-mannitol salt agar

1.growth=halotolerance, medium is lemon-yellow=mannitol fermentation (+)


2. growth=halotolerance, medium is pink =mannitol fermentation (-)


3. No growth=halotolerant (-)



reading of the urine streak

min of 100k CFU determines an active UTI

OCD

original cell density

Calculation of OCD

CFU's divided by the loop volume


ex: CFU/loop volume- 75 CFU/0.001 mL=OCD

Kirby Bauer Method

bacterial lawn technique, a type of culture and sensitivity test

BA

Blood Agar



Purpose of BA

test for hemolytic activity

Category of BA

Differential

Inoculation of BA

quadrant streak method

Preparation of BA

autoclaved, cooled, blood then added

SIM

sulfide indole motility medium

purpose of SIM

screening of H2S, indole production, and motility

category of SIM

biochemical

incoluation of SIM

stab

reagent of SIM

Kovac's reagent

UB

urea broth

purpose of UB

production of exoenzyme urease

category of UB

biochemical

inoculation of UB

dip and swirl

pH indicator of UB

Phenol red

gram positive coccus-resident of digestive tract-assoc with UTI-can lead to endocartis-abdominal infections-at risk with long term hospitalization and catheters.

Enterococcus faecalis

gram negative rod, coliform group, produces vitamins k and B complex, montezumas revenge

Escherichia coli



gram negative rod, lives in soil and water, organic matter decomposer, highly motile, opportunist of UG tract, nosocomial infections, resistant to ampicillan and cephalosporin, suseptible to trimethoprim

Proteus vulgaris

gram positve cocci in grape like clusters, wide spread assoc with skin and mucus membranes, MRSA, VRSA

Staphylococcus aureus

on the skin opportunist, strains produce a slime layer which allow attachment to certain hospital apparatuses, infections at site of prosthetic implantation

Staphylococcus epidermidis

leading cause of UTI's-young women more susceptible to colonization-hydrolyzes urea to produce ammonia allowing growth in an acidic environment, spread through sexual intercourse

Staphylococcus saprophyticus
