gut, environment, normal gut flora
morphology
1-3micrometer rods, capsule, fimbria, flagella
shigella and klebsiella are exceptions because they lack what
flagella
staining
gram-

advantage of using combined media
recieve more than one kind of feature of bacterial stain

low selective capacity media will seperate what
all enterobacteria and other Gr-
low selective capacity media
-crystal violet - lactose - bromo-thymol-blue/litmus/drigalski
, crystal violet-bile salts - lactose - neutral red/MacConkey
medium capacity media will seperate what
