CRITICAL THINKING Assessment

To complete this assignment, you will need the table of biochemical test results.

For each sample, the bacteria will be one of the following:

Bacillus subtilis Bacillus megatarium

Enterobacter aerogenes Escherichia coli

Proteus vulgarius Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus epidermidis

Sample A: gram-positive, coccus, catalase +

Sample B: gram-positive, rods, spore-forming +

Sample C: gram-negative, rod, glucose fermentation = AG

Sample D: gram-negative, rod, lactose fermentation = (-), glucose fermentation = A

With the given information, for each sample, which combination of bacteria could it be?

List which additional tests you would perform to positively identify the unknown samples (which one is it).

Explain how the test you chose helped you to identify the bacteria.

In a medical environment, why is it so important to be able to distinguish between specific pathogens? Please explain your answer.

What would happen if you misidentified a gram-negative bacterium for a gram-positive bacterium? Please explain your answer.
