Identification of B. mallei and B. pseudomallei (2).
| Tests | Oxidase | Growth at 42°C | Nitrate Reduction | Gelatin Liquified | Motility | Oxidizes Glucose | Oxidizes Lactose | Oxidizes Mannitol | Arginine dihydrolase | Citrate | TSI | Indol |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B. pseudomallei | + | + | + | v | + | + | = | = | + | + | Alk/NC1 Gas-, H2S - | - |
