I couldn't tell you what were the odds, but I hope this helps: You could be killing your oxidase activity if your organism was no longer viable. When identifying organisms you should always use fresh cultures. Regardless, some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa can test oxidase negative. a TSI slant would confirm if you were dealing with a presumptive pseudomonad or an enteric. Enterics will have a strong acid reaction (because they ferment) and Pseudomonas would have no acid (or a very weak acid) reaction. Happy streaking!

What is Pip Taz?

"Pip taz" is short for the antibiotic combination of piperacillin and tazobactam. In the US it is marketed as Zosyn and must be given intervenously or intramuscularly. Piperacillin is an extended spectrum penicillin which "attacks" the cell wall of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor -- a substance that is not an antibiotic itself, but makes it harder for bacteria to destroy the piperacillin. This makes the antibiotic more effective. "Pip taz" is commonly used against a particular difficult-to-manage microbe, pseudomonas aeruginosa.


What resistant forms of bacteria are produced by gram resistant bacilli of the most dangerous disease causing bacteria?

Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae can produce resistant forms such as Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), which are among the most dangerous disease-causing bacteria due to their resistance to multiple antibiotics. These resistant forms make treating infections caused by these bacteria challenging and can lead to higher rates of treatment failure and patient mortality.

Why must most milk in the US be refrigerated at all times while evaporated canned milk and milk in cardboard containers sold in Europe do not need to be refrigerated until they are open?

Fresh, pasteurised or extended shelf life milk has to be refrigerated because the processing does not remove all spoilage bacteria from the product. Refrigeration slows down the growth of spoilage bacteria and ensures that the product stays fresh longer.UHT treated or sterilised milk has a long shelflife and does not need to be refrigerated before being opened. This is because all spoilage bacteria is destroyed during the processing (typically a very high temperature for a short time). Only once opened will spoilage bacteria contaminate the product and start growing.
