Bacteria identification :
Gram positive cocci
Bile-Esculin
• Enterococcus identification
– Esculin  Esculitin + Glucose
– esculitin + Fe  Ferric citrate (dark brown)
• Selective media
– Bile added to inhibit gram + bacteria
– Enerococci can survive

Novobiocine Sensitivity
• Kirby Bauer Test
• Discrimanates S. saprophyticus from other
staphylococci
• S. saprophyticus is the only resistant
staphylococci
Mannitol + Salt Agar
•
•
•
•
High salinity (7.5%) : enriches staphylococcus
Indicator : Phenol Red
Carbon Sources : Mannitol and Proteins
Detects Mannitol Fermention
– Mannitol  acid formation
Mannitol + Salt Agar
A)
B)
C)
D)
Positive for mannitol fermentation
Negative for mannitol fermentation
Positive for mannitol fermentation
No growth
Tellurite/Baird Parker Agar
• Selective Media:
– Lithium chloride
– 1% Pottasium Tellurite Solution
• Differential Media:
– Egg Yolk : lecithinase (clearing)
– Pottasium Tellurite : coagulase-positive
(blackening)
Tellurite/Baird Parker Agar
PYR Test
• Detected Enzyme : Pyrrolidonyl peptidase
– L-pyrrolidonyl-β-napthylamide (PYR)  Lpyrrolidone carboxylic acid + β-napthylamine
• Detection of reaction:
– β-napthylamine + p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde  pink precipitate
PYR Test

Characteristics of Gram Positive Cocci
• All are non sporulating
• Mainly found amongst the
natural flora of humans and
animals
• Fastidious (‘picky’)
nutritional requirements
– Use simple carbon sources

• Causes several types of infections, food infections and toxic shock
(skin and respiratory tract)

• Cause opportunistic infections (catheters with biofilms)
– Staphylococcus saprophyticus
• Major cause of cystitis in women (bladder infection)
Gram Positive Cocci of Medical
Importance

Immunology
Immunology
• Purpose of the immune system:
– Discriminate self from non-self
• Non-self –Antigens
• Immunity:
– All mechanisms used by the host to protect itself
and fight non-self
Non-Self - Antigens
• Anything that can react with the participants
of the immune system
– Ex. antibodies
• Epitope: Characteristic of the antigen which
allows its recognition as being non-self
– Ex. Lipids, proteins, lipopolysaccharides
The Antigen
Epitopes
Virus=Antigen
Immunological Diagnostic Methods
• Determine the presence of an antigen:
• An organism
• A protein
• A toxin
• An antibody
– ELISA method to determine quantity
– Immunochromatography (Rapid tests)
ELISA
• Used to detect the presence of antigens or
antibodies
– High sensitivity
– Quantitative
ELISA –Antigen Detection

– Determine which partner will complete the exam
fist
– Make sure everything on the exam is clear, you
can ask any question concerning the methods
required for the practical exam
