Identifying an Unkown bacteria.

Postby nadialindsay on Fri Apr 18, 2008 2:59 pm

Hi I need help identifying an unknown bacteria.

According to my gram stain I have a gram negative bacteria that are bacillus shaped. However the other test that I have performed suggest that I may have a Gram positive bacteria. The test are as follow:

Catalases Results are negative
Amalyse results are negative
Bacteria does not digest Casine
TSI: Bacterial growth on agar slant the agar was turned yellow/yellow with no bubbles.
SCA: Bacteria did not catablolize citrate
EMB: There was no bacterial growth
MSA: Bacteria turned the media bright yellow.
Pseud Agar F: Clear color colonies on media
VRB: No colony growth on media
MacConky Agar: No colony growth on media.

I need to identify at least the family name. Any help is appreciated.
