Practical Medical Microbiology Lab # 7 Laboratory identification of Gram +ve rods, andacid fast stained bacteria
Non spore forming G+ve rods Corynebacterium diphtheriae • Culture medium: Loffler's serum medium • Biochemical test: Elek's test • Microscopic examination
MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF C.dIPHTHERIAE • Name of stain: Gram stain • Gram reaction: Gram +ve • Shape: Rods, non sporulated • ramified aggregations • "Chinese characters” having • clubbed ends • Size: Large
Culture media for Corynebacterium diphtheriae Name of the medium • Loffler's serum medium Type of the medium • Enriched • Horse serum • + nutrient broth (3:1) • + 1% glucose Constituents Uses • Cultivation of Corynebacterium diphtheriae
Elek’s test for c.diphtheriae • To differentiate between toxigenic & • non toxigenic strains of C. diphtheriae • In a plate: • Agar +20%horse serum • C .diphtheriae producing toxin (Ag) forms complex with antitoxin(Abs) in the filter paper ppt line
Gram +ve Rods • Pathogenic • Bacillus anthracis • Non pathogenic • Bacillus subtilis
Spore forming G+ve rods Culture medium Tests
Spore forming gram +ve rods Bacillus spp.
Microscopic examination of Bacillus spp. • Name of stain: Gram stain • Gram reaction: Gram +ve • Shape: rods • Size: large • Arrangement: chains
Tests for identification of bacillus spp. • Gelatin is • liquefied • by m.o. • producing • gelatinase. • In test tube: • N. broth • +gelatin • (12-15%) • Test for • gelatinase • Producing • m.o e.g. • Bacillus spp.
Tests for identification of bacillus spp. Gelatinase +ve growth Gelatinase –ve growth
Tests for identification of bacillus spp. • Nutrient agar+ 1% soluble starch • Test for m.o producing amylase e.g. Bacillus spp. • Starch + I2 blue color • Starch • amylase • Glucose I2 No blue color • Amylase hydrolyze • starch forming • clear zone around • the growth. • Reagent • Iodine
Tests for identification of bacillus spp. Amylase –ve growth e.gE.coli Amylase +vegrowth e.gBacillus spp
Tests for identification of bacillus spp. • Nutrient agar+ 1% casein (milk protein) • Test for m.o. producing caseinase e.g. • Bacillus, Staphylococcus • Casein around the growth is hydrolyzed by caseinase transparent zone
Tests for identification of bacillus spp. Caseinase +ve growth Caseinase –ve growth
Spore forming gram +ve rods Clostridium tetani
Microscopic examination of clostridium tetani • Name of stain: • Gram stain • Gram reaction: • Gram +ve • Shape: Rods • Arrangement: • Resemble tennis • rackets or • drumsticks
Growth Requirement for clostridium tetani Anaerobic jar
Tests for identification of clostridium spp. • Skimmed milk • M.O. with • proteolytic activity: • utilizes casein giving • alkaline end products + short polypeptide (blue) • M.O. with • saccharolyticactivity: • utilizes lactose producing acid (red) & gas (stormy clot) • To differentiate • between • Clostridium spp.: • C. tetani • (proteolytic) • C. Perfringens • (saccharolytic) Indicator • Litmus
Tests for identification of clostridium spp. Clostridium perfringens Clostridium tetani
Test for identification of clostridium perfringens • Test for m.o. producing lecithinase e.g. C. perfringens • Lecithin • Lecithinase • Diacyl glycerol + • free fatty acids • Insoluble opaque • zone around • the growth • Nutrient agar + 10% egg yolk suspension
Test for identification of clostridium perfringens White PPT of free fatty acids
Acid fast bacteria Acid fast bacteria Mycobacterium spp. • Microscopic examination • Culture medium: LowensteinJensen medium • Test: Niacin test
Microscopy • Name of stain: • Acid fast stain • Shape: Rods • Arrangement: • Single or bundles • Size: Small to medium • Non spore forming • Non motile
Culture medium for mycobacterium spp. Lowenstein Jensen plain medium
