Where is Enterobacter Aerogenes found?

E. aerogenes is generally found in the human GASTROINTESTINAL TRACt


What are results for a acid-fast test for enterobacter aerogenes?

Enterobacter aerogenes is a gram-negative bacterium and typically does not retain acid-fast stains due to its cell wall structure. Therefore, a positive result on an acid-fast test would be unlikely for Enterobacter aerogenes.


What is Enterobacter aerogenes cell size in micrometers?

Enterobacter aerogenes cells are typically around 1-3 micrometers in length and 0.5-1 micrometer in width.


What type of flagella does enterobacter aerogenes have?

Enterobacter aerogenes typically has peritrichous flagella, which are distributed all over the cell surface. These flagella help the bacterium to move and navigate through its environment.


Does Enterobacter aerogenes ferment sugar?

Enterobacter aerogenes is a Gram-negative, oxidase negative, catalase positive, citrate positive, indole negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is generally found in the human gastrointestinal tract. It is amylase negative.


Is enterobacter aerogenes lipase negative?

Yes it is. You can easily check it out yourself by using a tributyrine based agar. If Enterobacter aerogenes builds a lipase action enzyme, the surrounding of your colonies will be much clearer. If you have any other questions, I suggest you the Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology.


What carbohydrates can Enterobacter aerogenes ferment?

Enterobacter aerogenes can ferment a wide range of carbohydrates, including glucose, lactose, sucrose, and maltose. It possesses various enzymes to break down and metabolize these sugars for energy and growth.


What does Enterobacter aerogenes smell like?

Enterobacter aerogenes typically does not have a distinct smell of its own. However, it can contribute to the production of foul odors in environments where it is present due to its ability to metabolize certain compounds.


Does enterobacter aerogenes produce red and white colonies in nutrient agar?

Yes, Enterobacter aerogenes can produce both red and white colonies on nutrient agar. The color of the colonies can vary based on the potential presence of pigments produced by the bacteria under different growing conditions. Additional tests may be needed for accurate identification.


Can enterobacter aerogenes grow in TSA media?

Yes, Enterobacter aerogenes can grow in TSA (trypticase soy agar) media because it provides the necessary nutrients for bacterial growth, such as amino acids, vitamins, and carbohydrates. The bacteria can utilize these components to thrive and form colonies on the agar plate.


The difference between enterobacter aerogenes and citrobacter freundii?

Enterobacter aerogenes and Citrobacter freundii are both members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. While they share some similarities, they can be differentiated based on their biochemical properties, such as their ability to ferment particular sugars and produce certain enzymes. Clinically, Enterobacter aerogenes is more commonly associated with healthcare-associated infections, whereas Citrobacter freundii is a less frequent cause of infections but is known for its antibiotic resistance.
