  2. Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptococcus_pseudopneumoniae

    The bacterium has a number of features that allows it to be distinguished from S. pneumoniae: [2] There is no pneumococcal capsule (and is therefore not typable). [2] It is not soluble in bile. [2] It is sensitive to optochin when incubated in ambient air, but appears resistant or to have indeterminate susceptibility when incubated in 5% carbon ...

    S.pneumoniae growth on blood agar. Streptococcus pneumoniae can be differentiated from the viridans streptococci, some of which are also alpha-hemolytic, using an optochin test, as S. pneumoniae is optochin-sensitive. S. pneumoniae can also be distinguished based on its sensitivity to lysis by bile, the so-called "bile

  5. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

    Antibiotic resistance tests: Bacteria are streaked on dishes with white disks, each impregnated with a different antibiotic. Clear rings, such as those on the left, show that bacteria have not grown—indicating that these bacteria are not resistant. The bacteria on the right are fully resistant to all but two of the seven antibiotics tested. [33]

  9. Atypical pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_pneumonia

    Many of the organisms causative of atypical pneumonia are unusual types of bacteria (Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria without a cell wall and Chlamydias are intracellular bacteria). As the conditions caused by the various agents have different courses and respond to different treatments, the identification of the specific causative pathogen is ...
