What is an Enterotube?
The Enterotube is a multitest system to detect enteric pathogens. Its identification depends on the metabolic activity of the pathogen.
What are two examples of a 5-digit palindromic number?
36663 and 26762.
Why shoud the first digit in the enterotube II code always be equal to or greater than 2?
The Enterotube II System is generally used to distinguish between Enterobacteriaceae. Members of this family are generally glucose fermenters and some also produce gas. Since you get a "2" for glucose fermentation and a "1" for gas production, the value of the first number should be 2 or 3 in order to identify an organism using the Enterotube II System.
Can the Enterotube II be used on any unknown organism?
I'm pretty sure that the Enterotube II was developed to test between characteristics within the Enterobacteriaceae family only.
Which clinical specimen is used for enterotube inoculation?
stool or feces
Would you try to identify a Gram positive coccus using the Enterotube II?
No, Enterotube II works with Gram-negative microorganisms - if use with Gram-positive will result in infallible data.
What is the advantage of API 20E system over the Enterotube II systeme?
it is not good
Why is an oxidase test performed on a culture before using API 20E and Enterotube II to identify the culture?
API 20E and Enterotube II are for the identification of oxidase- negative bacteria. If the oxidase test is positive, these two methods of identification would be useless.
What are the Canadian sales numbers for the Toyota Corolla from 2008 to 2011?
The Toyota Corolla Canadian sales numbers for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 were respectively 57736, 53933, 38680 and 36663. That's 187012 for the four years combined.
Why is pure culture necessary for enterotube tests but not for DNA probes?
For biochemical tests, such as the Enterotube, if the culture contains any unwanted organisms, it could distort the results of the biochemical test potentially producing false-positive or false-negative results of the test. You use the Enterotube test to find one unknown MO; therefore, if you don't use a pure culture, you don't know for sure what MO you identified with your results.On the other hand, when and MO is difficult to culture/grow you use a DNA probe. DNA probes bind directly to predefined nucleic acid sequences, which basically identifies the MO even when surrounded by other MO's. Therefore, a pure culture is unnecessary.
What does 561977 times 36663 times 666 1444 times 445 times 5537 times 54 times 0 times 27777 times 3288 times 88 equal?
Whenever there's a zero in there, the rest doesn't matter. The answer is zero.
What is your bacteria if your enterotube results are 3 2 1 6 1?
Enterobacter cloacae, or Enterobacter asburiae, or Enterobacter amnigenus biogp. 2 Further tests are needed to determine which of these three species it is.
