Which of the following DOES NOT grow on BAP nor CHOC agar.

22. In the CAMP test a single streak of a beta-hemolytic streptococcus is placed perpendicular to a streak of beta-lysin-producing Staphylococcus aureus. After incubation a zone of increased lysis in the shape of an arrowhead is noted, which indicates the presumptive identification of _____.   S. bovis  S. pyogenes S. agalactiae    S. equinus

The enteric ___ antigens are located on the flagella

29. Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide variety of infections, ranging from wound to pneumonia. Treatment with penicillin has not been effective because of the   inability of penicillin to penetrate the membrane of aureus antagonistic reactions caused by penicillin production of beta-lactamase by aureus production of penicillin acetylase by aureus

Which of the following organisms is responsible for the condition known as swimmer’s ear?

36. A sputum from a patient with pneumonia produced many colonies of gram-negative diplococci on a chocolate plate that were also present in fewer numbers on MTM after 48 hours.  Given the results below, what is the most likely identification?               Catalase = +                            Oxidase = +             DNase = +                               Tributyrin hydrolysis = +             Glucose = negative                 Sucrose = negative             Lactose = negative                  Maltose = negative             Fructose = negative   Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis Neisseria flavescens Neisseria sicca Neisseria elongata

41. Staphylococcus aureus recovered from a wound culture gave the following antibiotic sensitivity pattern by the standardized Kirby-Bauer method (S = sensitive; R = resistant):             Penicillin = R                                      Cefoxitin = R             Ampicillin = S (moderate)                  Methicillin = R             Cephalothin = R                                  Vancomycin = S (moderate)               Which is the drug of choice for treating this infection? penicillin                                           cephalothin ampicillin                                         vancomycin

Biochemical tests included in the IMViC panel are
