• Bacitracin interferes with the dephosphorylation of C 55 – isoprenyl pyrophosphate.

• Differentiates between β-hemolytic Streptococcus.

NOVOBIOCIN TEST

Page 12: PRESENTED BY: EUNICE LORÁN, RUTH CERPA, KATIAN MELENDEZ IDENTIFICATION METHODS OF GRAM POSITIVE AND GRAM NEGATIVE COCCI.

NOVOBIOCIN TEST

• Novobiocin interferes with the unpackaging and repackaging of DNA during DNA replication the bacterial cell cycle.

• Novobiocin is obtained from the actinomycete Streptomyces niveus.

• Novobiocin test is a reliable presumptive identification of Staphylococcus Saprophyticus from another coagulase negative Staphylococci spp.

• Optochin is a toxic chemical that harms some bacteria.

• Optochin disks are placed in the culture and are incubated.• Susceptibility = zone of inhibition of 14 mm with a 6 mm disk.• Resistance = visible growth up to the margin of the disk.

MOTILITY TEST

• Determines the ability of a bacteria to move in a medium. • Useful in Enterococcus spp.

• Different methods are used:• The Wet Mount – a bacterial sample is observed under

the microscope to identify motility.• The Hanging Drop Method – uses a depression slide to

observe motility. • Culturing Method in a semi-solid medium –

inoculates bacteria in a semi-solid medium using an inoculating needle.

growth, clear).• Streptococcus species Viridans group =
