- Even before the turn of the 20th century, efforts were being made to find biochemical substrates that would help differentiate among the species contained within the two major groups of gram-negative organisms, widely known as the enterics and the nonfermenters. Both groups are common causes of bacterial infections in humans and occasionally cause widespread outbreaks of epidemiologic importance. Hence developing systems to identify Enterobacteriaceae is to efficiently help mankind in handling diseases caused by these bacteria hence saving lives.

Nitrate test of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas species?
Enterobacteriaceae are nitrate +. Don't know about Pseudomonas, though.
How do you pronounce enterobacteriaceae?
En·tero·bac·te·ri·a·ce·ae
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.
Why is it important to differentiate glucose nonfermenters from enterobacteriaceae?
It is extremely important to differentiate glucose non fermenters from enterobacteriaceae. Enterobacteriaceae is a gram negative bacterium that can cause extreme illness if cross contaminated with a glucose non fermenter.
Who developed the culture plate method of identify pathogens?
Rober Kock developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens.
What are Enterobacterial infections?
Enterobacterial infections are disorders of the digestive tract and other organ systems produced by a group of gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae
What does abbreviaton API stand for in microbiology?
Analytical Profile Index 20 enterobacteria
What are some biochemical characteristics shared by the family enterobacteriaceae?
Members of Enterobacteriaceae are oxidase negative, ferment glucose, and reduce nitrate to nitrite.
Who was the first to developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens?
Rober Kock developed the culture plate method to identify pathogens.
What were food exchange systems originally developed for?
Food exchange systems were originally developed for people with Diabetes.
How do you identify these organ systems?
