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.

The pathogenic E. coli strains have been divided into four groups according to their mechanism of virulence; Enteropathogenic, Enterotoxigenic, Enteroinvasive, and Enterohemorrhagic. (5) Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) strains are a common cause of infant diarrhea in areas of poor sanitation. (5) The cause of travelers diarrhea are Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strains, which produce enterotoxins that cause a gastroenteritis that is similar to a mild form cholera. (5) Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) strains produce an invasive factor that produces a shigellosis-like dysentery in humans.
