Gram-negative bacteria: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:43, 25 January 2022

Bacteria that have a thin peptidoglycan layer in the cell wall and therefore stain pink or red on Gram stain
Outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS, which consists of lipid A, core polysaccharide, and O antigen)

Lactose		Oxidase	Urease
fermenter	fast			Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter
fermenter	slow			Citrobacter, Serratia
non-fermenter		positive		Pseudomonas, Burkholderia
		negative	positive	Helicobacter pylori, Proteus mirabilis
		negative	negative	Campylobacter, Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia
