Identify the pathogen with its associated food source based on the scenario data given below: H) Stored, refrigerated rice: Isolated Gram + bacilli, 2) No growth on MacConkey agar 3) Following tests results: MR: negative VP: positive Urease: negative Catalase: positive Oxidase: negative Glucose fermentation: positive Indole production: negative Glucose fermentation: positive Citrate Utilization: positive The most likely bacterial species is__________________

A 55-year-old homeless man with alcoholism presents with severe multilobar pneumonia. He requires intubation and mechanical ventilation. A Gram stain of his sputum reveals numerous polymorphonuclear leukocytes and Gram-negative rods that appear to have a capsule. The organism is a lactose fermenter on MacConkey agar and is very mucoid. It is nonmotile and lysine decarboxylase positive. What is the most likely organism causing this man's illness? a. S. marcescens b. E. aerogenes c. P. mirabilis d. Klebsiella pneumoniae e. M. morganii An 18-year-old student has abdominal cramps and diarrhea. A selective agar plate is inoculated and grows suspicious Gram-negative rods. Triple sugar iron agar is used to identify the isolates as salmonellae or shigellae. A result suggesting one of these two pathogens would be a. Production of urease b. Motility in the medium c. Inability to ferment lactose and sucrose d. Fermentation of glucose e. Production of gas in the medium
