Step 1
- Oxidase positive: consistent with Neisseria species. - Fermentation: glucose positive and maltose positive → indicates a Neisseria that can ferment both sugars (not N. gonorrhoeae, which ferments glucose but not maltose). Show more…

A seven-month-old infant boy is brought to the emergency room. The child has been listless and hasn't been interested in eating or taking his bottle since the day before. His white blood cell count is high (indicating an infection). The infant's condition worsens and a cerebrospinal fluid collection is performed. The gram stain reveals few (2+) gram-negative coccobacilli and many (4+) white blood cells. A tentative diagnosis of meningitis is made. The specimen was plated on sheep blood agar, chocolate agar, and MacConkey agar. After 24 hours of incubation, what was the most probable growth pattern on the agar plates? Group of answer choices: A. Blood agar: no growth; Chocolate agar: growth; MacConkey: no growth B. Blood agar: no growth; Chocolate agar: growth; MacConkey: growth C. Blood agar: growth; Chocolate agar: growth; MacConkey: no growth D. Blood agar: growth; Chocolate agar: growth; MacConkey: growth Which of the following tests are most useful in the identification of the organism? Group of answer choices: A) Catalase, motility at room temperature, motility at 35°C B) Oxidase, carbohydrate utilization tests (dex, mal, lac, suc), butyrate esterase C) X and V factors, porphyrin (ALA), rabbit blood for hemolysis D) Catalase, bile solubility, optochin

A gram-negative diplococcus isolated from a middle ear aspirate grew on chocolate agar but was inhibited in Modified Thayer Martin agar. The organism can reduce NO3 and NO2. The organism in question is most probably: a. Neisseria gonorrhoeae b. Neisseria meningitidis c. Moraxella catarrhalis d. Neisseria lactamica
