Question

A 72-year old woman was seen in the ER. She appeared to be disoriented and complained of nausea and chills and was found to have a fever. One set of blood cultures was drawn in the ER before the patient was admitted. The next morning, both blood culture bottles (aerobic and anaerobic) became positive. The Gram stain showed short, fat Gram-negative bacilli, and therefore, you set up subcultures from the aerobic blood bottle. The next day, both the SBA and Choc plates showed 2+ gray colonies, and the MAC plate showed 2+ pink colonies. A spot indole test from the SBA plate was positive. Upon further investigation, you found the same patient also had a urine culture, which has grown pink colonies on MAC, which you have already set up for sensitivity testing. Which tube media would you set up to identify this organism? Catalase ONPG TSI MIO Citrate Motility
