PROCEDURE Third Period
EnteroPluri-Test
API 20E
1. Interpret and record all reactions (TABLE 51.2) in
the Laboratory Report. Read all the other tests be-
fore the indole and V-P tests, which follow.
Indole test. Place the EnteroPluri-Test hori-
zontally, with its flat surface pointing upward,
and melt a small hole in the plastic film cov-
ering the H,S/indole compartment by using
a warm inoculating loop. Add 3 to 4 drops of
Kovacs reagent, and allow the reagent to con-
tact the agar surface. A positive test is indi-
cated by a red color within 10 seconds.
b. V-P test. Add 3 drops of V-P reagent I and 2
drops of V-P reagent II to the V-P compart-
ment. A positive test is indicated by develop-
ment of a red color within 20 minutes.
1. Interpret and record all reactions (TABLE 51.3) in
the Laboratory Report. Read all the other tests be-
fore the TDA, VP, and IND tests, which follow.
a. TDA test. Add 1 drop of 10% ferric chloride.
A positive test is brownish-red. Indole-positive
organisms may produce an orange color; this
is a negative TDA reaction.
b. V-P test. Add 1 drop of V-P reagent I and 1
drop of V-P reagent II. A positive reaction pro-
duces a red color (not pale pink) after 10 minutes.
Indole test. Add 1 drop of Kovacs reagent. A red
ring after 2 minutes indicates a positive reaction.
