Hello,
I am a 2nd year university student doing a lab write-up in which the purpose
is to identify an unknown bacteria. The results I obtained were grm- rods
encapsulated, lactose+, indole+, MR+; VP-; citrate-; but urea+. I'm pretty
sure I have a strain of Escherichia... I thought perhaps E.coli, but the
urea+ sort of skewed my idea. So i went and looked in Bergey's and some other
sources and found a species of Escherichia which was adecarboxylata
(I think that's the spelling)...anyway I am wondering if based on my results
the conclusion I have come to is appropriate..or if I am somewhere off in
left field. If I am wrong i was wondering if anyone can point me in the right
direction, any information will be very much appreciated.
Thank-you,
Leana Webber
