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).
Principle. This test depends on the presence of cytochrome oxidase in bacteria that will catalyze the transport of electrons between electron donors and redox dye.Tetramethyl-p-phenylene diamine dihydrochloride in the reagent is reduced to deep purple color.This test is used for the screening of Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Neisseria, Brucella and Pasteurella, which give positive test.ilter Paper Method. Place a piece of filter paper in petri dish and add 3 drops of freshly prepared oxidase reagent. Using a sterile glass rod, remove a colony of test organisms from a culture plate and smear it on the filter paper.
