Rapid oxidase method for testing oxidase-variable Aeromonas hydrophila strains. 1981

L K Hunt, and T L Overman, and R B Otero

A rapid, same-day oxidase test procedure which obviates the problem of false-negative oxidase reactions of Aeromonas hydrophila removed from the surface of differential media such as MacConkey agar is described. This method allows oxidase testing to be performed within 3 h, rather than delaying the oxidase test for an additional 18 to 24 h. This procedure is applicable to any rapidly growing gram-negative rod.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D000333 Aeromonas A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that occurs singly, in pairs, or in short chains. Its organisms are found in fresh water and sewage and are pathogenic to humans, frogs, and fish.
