Practical Medical Microbiology Lab # 3 Laboratory Identification of streptococci
Microscopic examination Morphological Description: • Type of stain: Gram stain • Gram reaction: Gram +ve • Color: Violet • Shape: Cocci • Size: Small • Arrangement: Chains or pairs
Culture MEDIA Culture media for streptococci: • Blood agar • Chocolate agar
Biochemical reactions and confirmatory tests • Blood hemolysis:α, β, γ • Biochemical tests: 1. Bile solubility 2. Bacitracin sensitivity 3. Optochin sensitivity • Serological test:Antistreptolysin O test (ASO)
1-Hemolysis on blood agar (ɑ) Partial hemolysis (β) Complete hemolysis (γ) No hemolysis S. faecalis & S. epidermidis S. pneumoniae & Viridans streptococci S. pyogenes & S. aureus Hemoglobin Met-Hemoglobin
2-Bile solubility To differentiate between ɑ-hemolytic streptococci: S. pneumoniae and viridans Nutrient broth + bile salts S. pneumoniae Viridans Resistant Lysis No lysis Sensitive Viridans S. pneumoniae
3- Bacitracin sensitivity To differentiate between β-hemolytic S. pyogenes& ɑ, γ -hemolytic S. pneumoniaeand viridans Resistant Sensitive Bacitracin antibiotic disc S. Pneumoniae & Viridans S. pyogenes
4- Optochin sensitivity To differentiate between ɑ-hemolytic streptococci: S. pneumoniae and viridans Optochin sensitive Optochin resistant S. pneumoniae Viridans streptococci Optochin = Ethyl hydrocupreinHCl
Anti-streptolysin O (ASO) test Detection of anti-streptolysin O antibody in patient’s serum as an indication for streptococcal infection Polystyrene latex beads coated with Streptolysin O antigen Ab Patient serum +ve agglutination
