Question

What are the results from the gram stain and result of the API strip ? (Positive/ negative) for each test in the strip and numerical code

Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Understanding the API® 20 E System** The API® 20 E system is a well-established microbiological tool used for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative bacteria. It consists of 20 miniaturized biochemical tests, each of which provides a colorimetric reaction that indicates the presence or absence of certain metabolic processes. **Components:** - **Test Strip:** The test strip in the image displays a series of microtubes containing dehydrated substrates. Each tube is inoculated with a bacterial suspension and incubated to allow for a metabolic reaction, which is then assessed based on color changes. - **Tubes and Tests:** The following tests are included on the strip: - **ONPG (Ortho-Nitrophenyl-β-galactoside)** - **ADH (Arginine Dihydrolase)** - **LDC (Lysine Decarboxylase)** - **ODC (Ornithine Decarboxylase)** - **CIT (Citrate Utilization)** - **H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide Production)** - **URE (Urease)** - **TDA (Tryptophan Deaminase)** - **IND (Indole Production)** - **VP (Voges-Proskauer Test)** - **GEL (Gelatinase)** - **GLU (Glucose)** - **MAN (Mannitol)** - **INO (Inositol)** - **SOR (Sorbitol)** - **RHA (Rhamnose)** - **SAC (Sucrose)** - **MEL (Melibiose)** - **AMY (Amygdalin)** - **ARA (Arabinose)** **Interpretation Chart:** A chart is provided below the test strip, where plus (+) and minus (-) signs indicate results for each test. - **Column Annotations:** Numbers under each column often reflect results used in generating a numerical profile for bacterial identification using a database or coding book. - **Additional Sections:** Includes boxes for further annotations and a zone for identifying the test kit's reference number (#2) and date (2023/10/12). **Usage Instructions:** - **Reagents:** Some
