Explanation of Solution

Bacteria are generally divided into two categories, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The gram-negative bacteria are further divided into enterics and non-fermenters. From a long time, various substrates were being used to differentiate between non-fermenters and enterics. Both these groups are responsible for the cause of various bacterial infections in the human population. Therefore, it was important to develop a system that would help in identifying the members of Enterobacteriaceae.
