The following images contains three EMB Agar plates. The plates on the top row (Image A) were both streaked with E.coli. The single plate on the bottom row (Image B) was streaked with S. aureus. Analyze the image and pick the best statement below: Image A is positive for growth. Image B is negative for growth. This means that E. coli is gram positive and S. aureus is gram negative. Image A is positive for growth. Image B is negative for growth. This means that E. coli is gram negative and S. aureus is gram positive. Image A is negative for growth. Image B is positive for growth. This means that E.coli is gram negative and S. aureus is gram positive. Image A is negative for growth. Image B is positive for growth. This means that E. coli is gram positive and S. aureus is gram negative.

Based on your observation of the indicated bacterium in this Gram stain, select ALL appropriate statements: The indicated bacterium is a spirochete. The indicated bacterium produces endotoxin (also known as lipopolysaccharide; LPS). The indicated bacterium has a strepto- formation. The indicated bacterium is a bacillus. The indicated bacterium is Gram-positive. Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) or MacConkey agar would NOT be good choices of media to grow the indicated bacterium. The indicated bacterium is Gram-negative.
