Question

which type of hemolysis your staphylococcus is alpha beta or gamma?

Is your sample DNAse + or DNAse -?

**Is your presumptive Staphylococcus a potential pathogen?**

- **Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) agar**
  - **What exoenzyme does this plate test for?**
    - What is an exoenzyme?
  
  - **Name the indicator.**
  
  - **Name the substrate present in the agar that will be broken down by the enzyme.**
  
  - **Describe what a positive and negative reaction look like.**

- **Is your sample DNase + or DNase -?**

**Images and Descriptions:**

- **Uninoculated Plate:** Shows a DNase agar plate that is not streaked with bacteria. The plate appears uniformly green.

- **24-48 hour incubation:** An image of a DNase agar plate after 24-48 hours of incubation with bacteria. The plate features clear zones around the bacterial streaks. 

**Explanation:**

- **Methyl Green DNase agar:** This is the type of agar used in the lab for testing. It does not require the addition of HCl for interpretation of results. 

In a DNase test, a positive reaction typically shows a clear zone around the bacterial growth, indicating DNase activity, while a negative reaction generally shows no clearing.

**Results of CNA Plate after Incubation:**

- **Determine Hemolysis**
  - How do you know which type of hemolysis your Staphylococcus is?

- **Determine Novobiocin Sensitivity**
  - How do you measure a zone of inhibition?
  - What size is the zone of inhibition?
  - Is the presumptive Staph sensitive or resistant to novobiocin?
    - How many mm is considered sensitive?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image on the right shows a CNA (Colistin Nalidixic Acid) agar plate after incubation. There is a clear zone labeled "22 mm" around a disc representing the zone of inhibition. This indicates the area where bacterial growth has been inhibited, suggesting sensitivity to the antibiotic novobiocin.
