Discuss the medical significance of the IMViC series of tests?
The IMViC series of tests provides an identification of the principal groups of Enterobacteriaceae that cause intestinal infections, by using the biochemical properties and their enzymatic reactions to specific substrates
What enzyme distinguishes staphylococci from streptococci?
Catalase. Staphylococci are catalase positive. Streptococci are catalase negative.
What is the plural of streptococcus?
streptococci
What are the examples of fastidious microorganisms?
streptococci
What are the biochemical tests to confirm staphylococcus?
Streptococci are not differentiated by biochemical tests, but rather by hemolysis reaction (beta Strep or alpha Strep) and sero-group (as in Group E Strep).Further, streptococcus is also identified by thr following tests:1. Coagulase.2. Haemolysin (It lyses 4% RBC suspension)3. Fibrinolysin (It can dissolve a fibrin clot)4. Strp. Pneumoniae also gives a positive bile solubility test.5. It ferments Inulin (A sugar)

Why do alpha streptococci produce green color on blood agar?
All of the different streptococci are organized into three groups based on how they break down red blood cells, a process called hemolysis. The group of streptococci that perform alpha hemolysis are called alpha streptococci. In alpha hemolysis, the hydrogen peroxide produced by the streptococci oxidizes the blood's hemoglobin, turning it into methemoglobin, which is green in color.
