|
| Lactose-fermenting pink colonies grow on MacConkey agar. The organism is indole positive, oxidase negative, and Gram-negative rods are seen on staining. | Escherichia coli | 56%
|
| Tiny gray colonies grow on chocolate agar but not on blood agar. Gram-negative coccobacilli are seen on Gram stain. The isolate requires both X and V factors. | Haemophilus influenzae | 50%
