Application

Oxidase Test is an important differential procedure which should be performed on all gram-negative bacteria that are to be identified.

Packaging

Discs contain N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxalate and α-naphthol.

Principle

Oxidase Test is based on the principle that certain bacteria produce indophenol blue from the oxidation of dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine and α-naphthol. In presence of the enzyme cytochrome oxidase (gram-negative bacteria), the N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxalate and α-naphthol react to indophenol blue.

Vibrio Detection

Vibrios are motile, curved or comma-shaped bacilli and have a single polar flagella with sheet proteins. They are often found in open water, freshwater and saltwater.

Media for Staphylococcus Aureus Detection

Chromogenic media enable the selective detection of S. aureus, which produce bluish-green colonies that are clearly differentiated from other species.

On the Trail of Campylobacter

On the Trail of Campylobacter - The Campylobacter is one of the leading causes of human gastroenteritis. Common Campylobacter species C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. lari are responsible for most cases of campylobacteriosis. However, other species, like C. fetus, which causes spontaneous abortions, have also been associated with human illness. Campylobacter are Gram-negative, spiral-shaped, microaerophilic and motile bacteria with uni- or bi-polar fl agella

Identification of Microorganisms Based on Color

For microbiologists the most fundamental stain was developed in 1884 by the Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram.
