Enterococcus faecalis typically does not produce significant amounts of acid from glucose fermentation, so it usually gives a negative result in the methyl red test, which detects mixed acid fermentation.

Is Alcaligenes faecalis oxidase positive?

yes and no, sometimes it comes out positive and sometimes it comes out negitive


Why is catalase test performed on enterococcus faecium?

The catalase test is performed on Enterococcus faecium to differentiate it from certain other bacteria such as Staphylococcus species, which are catalase-positive. Enterococcus faecium is catalase-negative, meaning it does not produce the enzyme catalase, which helps in the identification of the bacteria.

Is enterococcus faecalis positive or negative with the urea broth test?

It is urease positive .It possesses the enzymes urease which hydrolyses urea to form ammonia. As a result the pH of the medium used for detection of urease enzyme (Urea Broth) increases and shows bright pink colour, since phenol red is bright pink in alkaline conditions.


Is staphylococcus aureus negative for the methyl red test?

Yes, Staphylococcus aureus is negative for the methyl red test due to its inability to produce stable acids from glucose fermentation. This distinguishes it from other enteric bacteria that are positive for the methyl red test.


Does E. faecalis test positive for MSA agar test?

E. faecalis typically does not ferment mannitol, so it does not grow well on mannitol salt agar (MSA) and would not test positive on this medium. MSA is selective for organisms that can ferment mannitol, such as Staphylococcus species.


How do you tell the difference between S epidermidis and E faecalis?

Metabolic tests such as an oxidase test can be used to differentiate S epidermidis and E faecalis. Such a test can be conducted by adding H2O2 to the colony. The result for S aureus will be negative and the result for S epidermidis will be positive.


What is the glucose test result of streptococcus faecalis?

Is staphylococcus aureus methyl red positive?

Staphylococcus aureus is typically methyl red negative. Methyl red test is used to determine the ability of an organism to perform mixed-acid fermentation of glucose, with a positive result indicating a significant drop in pH. Staphylococcus aureus is not known to produce enough acid to yield a positive result with the methyl red test.

Is methyl -D-glucopyranoside gave a positive Tollen test?

Methyl-D-glucopyranoside would not give a positive Tollen test as it is a non-reducing sugar. The Tollen test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars, which can undergo oxidation and reduce the silver ions in the Tollen's reagent. Non-reducing sugars like methyl-D-glucopyranoside do not have free aldehyde or ketone groups to participate in this reaction.
