  2. TSI slant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSI_slant

    The TSI slant is a test tube that contains agar, a pH-sensitive dye , 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, [2] and sodium thiosulfate and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate. All of these ingredients are mixed together, heated to sterility, and allowed to solidify in the test tube at a slanted angle.

  3. Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa

    A TSI slant is often used to distinguish nonfermenting Pseudomonas species from enteric pathogens in faecal specimens. [citation needed] When P. aeruginosa is isolated from a normally sterile site (blood, bone, deep collections), it is generally considered dangerous, and almost always requires treatment.

    The triple sugar iron (TSI) test is a differential media used to tell whether an organism can ferment glucose, sucrose, and/or lactose and whether an organism can produce hydrogen sulfide gas. [ 36 ] Urea agar slant

  5. Shigella dysenteriae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigella_dysenteriae

    Inoculation of a TSI slant shows an alkaline slant and acidic, but with no gas, or H 2 S production. Following incubation on SIM, the culture appears nonmotile with no H 2 S production. Addition of Kovac's reagent to the SIM tube following growth typically indicates no indole formation (serotypes 2, 7, and 8 produce indole [5]).

  6. Pseudomonas infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_infection

    Pseudomonas infection refers to a disease caused by one of the species of the genus Pseudomonas. P. aeruginosa is a germ found in the environment and it is an opportunistic human pathogen most commonly infecting immunocompromised patients, such as those with cancer , diabetes , cystic fibrosis , [ 1 ] severe burns, AIDS , [ 2 ] or people who ...

  8. Cetrimide agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetrimide_agar

    Cetrimide also enhances the production of Pseudomonas pigments such as pyocyanin and pyoverdine, which show a characteristic blue-green and yellow-green colour, respectively. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Cetrimide agar is widely used in the examination of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and clinical specimens to test for the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa .

  9. Simmons' citrate agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmons'_citrate_agar

    Simmons’ agar can be bought from suppliers as ready-made powders or slants. A slant is prepared by adding the heated agar to a test tube and allowing it to solidify at a slanted angle. To transfer cells from a sample to the agar, a sterilized needle is used to select a distinct colony from the sample and to streak across the agar surface, as ...
