Question
Match the following terms to the appropriate definitions below:
___ 9. Klebsiella pneumoniae ___ 13. Escherichia coli
___ 10. Mycobacterium smegmatis ___ 14. Bacillus cereus
___ 11. Staphylococcus aureus ___ 15. Mycolic acid
___ 12. Streptococcus agalactiae
a. Acid-fast negative. It contains vegetative cells and endospores. When it is stained the endospores stain fuchsia and the vegetative cells remain blue. It is arranged in chains, clusters, and single with a bacillus shape.
b. Has mycolic acid on their cell walls. When it is stained it stains pink from the primary stain. The arrangement is a mixture of singles, clusters and palisade with a bacillus shape.
c. Acid-fast negative. It does not contain a cell wall with mycolic acid. The arrangement is in chains with a bacillus shape.
d. Acid-fast negative. When it is stained it stains blue. The arrangement is single and in clusters with a coccus/bacillus shape
e. Acid-fast negative. When it stains it stains blue. The arrangement is in chains and mostly in clusters. The shape is coccus.
f. Wax-like lipid; a cell wall impermeable to most stains
g. Acid-fast negative. It does not have a cell wall due to the counterstain. The arrangements is in clusters and single. The bacteria is blue in color.
