TSI - Alkaline slant/Acid butt with H2S
SIM - Motile, H2S positive
Urease - Negative
The biochemical test commonly used to identify Salmonella typhi is the Widal test. This test detects antibodies produced in response to a Salmonella typhi infection by measuring agglutination (clumping) reactions between the bacteria and specific antibodies in the patient's serum. Other tests like blood culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can also be used for confirmation.
IMVIC farmula for e.coli is ++--
it should test + for catalase but Salmonella isolates are moderate catalase reactors.
If a blood test comes back with salmonella typhi O at a level of 1 80, it means a person has contracted typhoid fever.
In a Widal test, "H" refers to the flagella antigen of Salmonella typhi while "O" refers to the somatic antigen of the bacteria. The presence of antibodies against these antigens indicates a recent or current infection with Salmonella typhi, the bacterium that causes typhoid fever.
The IMViC test results that would indicate the presence of fecal coliforms are negative for indole production, positive for methyl red test, negative for Voges-Proskauer test, and positive for citrate utilization.
A positive Widal test result for Salmonella Typhi O indicates the presence of antibodies against the O antigen of Salmonella Typhi, suggesting a possible active or recent infection with typhoid fever. However, this test may yield false positives due to cross-reactivity with other infections or previous vaccinations, so it should be interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests. Additionally, the test is more reliable in endemic areas where typhoid fever is common.
mywadil test is 1/160 of Para - typhi AH
The blood test for typhoid is called the Widal test. It detects antibodies in the blood against the Salmonella typhi bacteria, which causes typhoid fever.
Staphylococcus epidermidis indole test - negative methyl red - negative voges proskauer test - positive citrate test - no idea
salmonella typhi H is a typhoid count. it is very dangerous. in typhi H it tells us that the count of the disease will decrease very slowly and it will take years time to decrease but in typhi O it tells us that the count will decrease in a short period of time such as in 1 or 2 weeks. the count 1/80 tells we are at a minimum level. that means we have typhoid tYphi O,but if its above the count it is very bad. if you have temprature or shiviring and vomitting you should immediatly go to the doctor for a blood test to ensure safety. remember one thing if you have typhoid you should take a diet.do not eat anything solid only take liquids.such as soups. i have also got typhoid and this is what he doctor said to me and i had typhi O.and in typhoid you should take rest for at least a week.
Quality control in IMViC (Indole, Methyl Red, Voges-Proskauer, and Citrate tests) is performed by using control strains that provide known results for each test. These control organisms ensure the reliability of the test results and help identify any inconsistencies in the testing procedure. Regular calibration of equipment and adherence to standardized protocols further support the accuracy and validity of the IMViC tests. Additionally, periodic reviews and documentation of results contribute to maintaining quality assurance in the microbiological analysis.
