The. test is mainly used to differentiate: 1) Oxidase positive Neisseria spp. from other gram-negative diplococci. 2) Oxidase positive Aeromonas hydrophila from Escherichia coli (gram-negative). 3) Oxidase positive Plesiomonas shigelloids from Shigella sonnei (gram-negative).Oxidase Test: A. Pseudomonas aeruginosa-Purple color indicates positive.he. test is mainly used to differentiate: 1) Oxidase positive Neisseria spp. from other gram-negative diplococci. 2) Oxidase positive Aeromonas hydrophila from Escherichia coli (gram-negative). 3) Oxidase positive Plesiomonas shigelloids from Shigella sonnei (gram-negative).
The oxidase test detects the presence of a cytochrome oxidase system that will catalyse the transport of electrons between electron donors in the bacteria and a redox dye-tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine.The dye is reduced to deep purple color. The oxidase test is used to determine if an organism possesses the cytochrome oxidase enzyme. 2  The test is used as an aid for the differentiation of Neisseria, Moraxella, Campylobacter and Pasteurella species (oxidase positive).
