- 12: Isolation and Identification of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas, Part 1
- Labs 12 and 13 deal with opportunistic and pathogenic fermentative Gram-negative bacilli that are members of the bacterial family Enterobactereaceae, as well as nonfermentative Gram-negative bacilli such as Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter.
- 15: Gram-Positive Streptococci- Isolation and Identification of Staphylococci
- The neisseriae are a group of Gram-negative diplococci 0.6-1.5 µm in diameter (see Fig. 1A). Two species of Neisseria, N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis, are considered as true human pathogens. Both of these organisms possess pili and adhesins for adherence to host cells, produce endotoxins, and resist destruction within phagocytes. N. meningitidis also produces a capsule to resist phagocytic engulfment.
