HiMedia Oxidase Discs are used to detect the presence of the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase in microorganisms. These sterile filter paper discs are impregnated with a reagent that changes color when it reacts with the oxidase enzyme, indicating a positive result. They are commonly used to differentiate between bacteria, particularly to identify oxidase-positive bacteria like Neisseria, Alcaligenes, Aeromonas, Vibrio, Campylobacter, and Pseudomonas. Key Features and Usage:
- Reagent:The discs are impregnated with a mixture of N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxalate, ascorbic acid, and α-naphthol.
- Detection:The reagent acts as an electron donor. When a colony of oxidase-positive bacteria is placed on the disc, the oxidase enzyme oxidizes the reagent, causing a color change, typically a purplish-blue.
- Interpretation:A color change indicates a positive result, signifying the presence of oxidase enzyme. No color change is considered a negative result.
- Application:Oxidase discs are helpful in identifying various bacterial genera and excluding members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, which are typically oxidase-negative.
- Convenience:These pre-moistened discs eliminate the need for daily preparation of fresh reagent.
