E.coli Metabolism Products on Different Culture Mediums

06 October 2011

E. coli typically produces positive tests for indole, lysine decarboxylase, and mannitol fermentation and produces gas from glucose. an isolate from urine can be quickly identified as E. coli by its hemolysis on blood agar typical colonial morphology with an iridescent "sheen" on different media such as EMB agar, and a positive spot indole test.
