what is the purpose of the Triple sugar iron (TSI) test
determines if GNR ferments glucose and lactose or sucrose, and forms hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
what is the media for TSI test
enzymatic digest of casein, enzymatic digest of animal tissue, yeast enriched peptone, dextrose, sucrose and lactose, ferric ammonium citrate, sodium thiosulfate
what is the indicator for TSI test

For TSI test, K/NC means that
No sugars are fermented, No H2S is produced, and there is no gas produced
For TSI test, K/A means that
only glucose was fermented, No H2S was produced, and no gas was produced.
How do you know if a sugar was fermented in the TSI test
slant/butt turns yellow
How do you know if H2S was produced in a TSI test
Slant turns black
How do you know if gas was produced in TSI test
There are bubbles/cracks in the slant
What does A/A mean in TSI test
glucose, lactose and/or sucrose was fermented, No H2S was produced, no gas was produced.

Red
What does a TSI tube look like where only glucose was fermented
the butt is yellow where the slant stays red
What does a TSI tube look like where glucose was fermented, H2s was produced and gas was produced
butt is black and slant stays red
What does a TSI tube look like where all of the sugars were fermented, No H2S was produced and no gas was produced
Butt and slant both turn yellow
What does A/(A) mean in a TSI test
all sugars were fermented, gas was produced but no H2S was produced
What does a TSI tube look like that all the sugars were fermented, gas was produced but no H2S was produced
Yellow slant and butt with bubbles/cracks
What does A/(A) H2S mean in a TSI tube
all sugars were fermented, gas was produced and H2S was produced
What does a tube look like where all sugars were fermented, gas was produced and H2S was produced
