Skin Pigmentation disorders and its management .pptxJagruti Marathe
Some of the most common are pigmented birthmarks, macular stains, hemangiomas, port wine stains, while disorders include albinism, melasma, vitiligo and pigmentation loss due to skin damage. Birthmarks and other skin pigmentation (coloration) disorders affect many people.
Skin pigmentation disorders are conditions that affect the color of the skin. Some common types of skin pigmentation disorders include:
Pigmented birthmarks
Macular stains
Hemangiomas
Port wine stains
Albinism
Melasma
Vitiligo
Skin pigment loss due to sun damage
Other factors that can affect skin pigmentation include: Pregnancy, Addison's disease, Sun exposure.
Some treatments for skin pigmentation disorders include:
Over-the-counter or prescription creams
Topical pimecrolimus or tacrolimus
Light therapy
Melanocytes in the basal epidermis control skin pigmentation through synthesis of melanin, a complex process thought to be primarily regulated by alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH)
Light therapy exposes your skin to a type of ultraviolet (UV) light that can restore your natural skin color. If a large area of your body needs treatment, your dermatologist may prescribe a type of light therapy called phototherapy. During phototherapy, you expose your skin to UV light for a specific amount of time.
Dermatological testing as perBISpecification.pptxJagruti Marathe
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the National Standard Body of India.
BIS is responsible for the harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
BIS through its core activities of standardization and conformity assessment, has been benefiting the national economy by providing safe, reliable and quality goods; minimizing health hazards to consumers; protecting the environment, promoting exports and imports substitute; controlling over proliferation of varieties etc.
Dermatological testing assesses a product's potential to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. A product is considered dermatologically tested if a qualified dermatologist supervises the testing and verifies the results. Some dermatological tests include: Repeat-insult patch testing: Stability testing: Cosmetics toxicology test:
Cosmetic pharmacology refers to the use of drugs to improve cognition in normal healthy individuals, for the purpose of enhancement rather than treatment of a formal pathology.
Some case reports with the antidepressant Prozac indicated that patients seemed "better than well," and authors hypothesized that this effect might be observed in individuals not afflicted with psychiatric disorders.
Following these case reports much controversy arose over the veracity and ethics of the cosmetic use of these antidepressants.
Opponents of cosmetic pharmacology state that such drug use is unethical and dangerous, and that the concept of cosmetic pharmacology is a manifestation of naive consumerism resulting from pharmaceutical marketing campaigns.
Proponents state that drugs used to treat many pathologies are just as dangerous, it is an individual's (rather than government's, or physician's) decision whether to use a drug for cosmetic purposes, and there are few if any legitimate ethical qualms with cosmetic pharmacology.
Thousands of metabolic processes in myriad body cells produce hundreds of waste products.
The urinary system removes them by filtering and cleansing the blood as it passes through the kidneys.
Another vital function is the regulation of the volume, acidity, salinity, concentration, and chemical composition of blood, lymph, and other body fluids. Under hormonal control, the kidneys continually monitor what they release into the urine to maintain a healthy chemical balance.
A closed system of the heart and blood vessels
The heart pumps blood
Blood vessels allow blood to circulate to all parts of the body
The function of the cardiovascular system is to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove carbon dioxide and other waste products
The heart contributes to homeostasis by pumping blood through blood vessels to the tissues of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove wastes.
Blood to reach body cells and exchange materials with them, it must be pumped continuously by the heart through the body’s blood vessels.
The heart beats about 100,000 times every day, which adds up to about 35 million beats in a year, and approximately 2.5 billion times in an average lifetime.
The left side of the heart pumps blood through an estimated 100,000 km (60,000 mi) of blood vessels, which is equivalent to traveling around the earth’s equator about three times.
The right side of the heart pumps blood through the lungs, enabling blood to pick up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide.
Nervous System
Your nervous system is your body’s command center. Originating from your brain, it controls your movements, thoughts and automatic responses to the world around you. It also controls other body systems and processes, such as digestion, breathing and sexual development (puberty). Diseases, accidents, toxins and the natural aging process can damage your nervous system.
nervous system uses specialized cells called neurons to send signals, or messages, all over your body. These electrical signals travel between your brain, skin, organs, glands and muscles.
The messages help you move your limbs and feel sensations, such as pain. Your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and the nerves all over your body take in information about your environment. Then nerves carry that data to and from your brain.
Different kinds of neurons send different signals. Motor neurons tell your muscles to move. Sensory neurons take information from your senses and send signals to your brain. Other types of neurons control the things your body does automatically, like breathing, shivering, having a regular heartbeat and digesting food.
ANATOMY :The nervous system has two main parts. Each part contains billions of cells called neurons, or nerve cells. These special cells send and receive electrical signals through your body to tell it what to do.
The main parts of the nervous system are:
Central nervous system (CNS): Your brain and spinal cord make up your CNS. Your brain uses your nerves to send messages to the rest of your body. Each nerve has a protective outer layer called myelin. Myelin insulates the nerve and helps the messages get through.
Peripheral nervous system: Your peripheral nervous system consists of many nerves that branch out from your CNS all over your body. This system relays information from your brain and spinal cord to your organs, arms, legs, fingers and toes. Your peripheral nervous system contains your:
Somatic nervous system, which guides your voluntary movements.
Autonomic nervous system, which controls the activities you do without thinking about them.
housands of disorders and conditions can affect your nerves. An injured nerve has trouble sending a message. Sometimes it’s so damaged that it can’t send or receive a message at all. Nerve injury can cause numbness, a pins-and-needles feeling or pain. It may be difficult or impossible for you to move the area that’s injured.
Skin is the largest organ in the body and covers the body's entire external surface. It is made up of three layers, the epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis, all three of which vary significantly in their anatomy and function. The skin's structure is made up of an intricate network which serves as the body’s initial barrier against pathogens, UV light, and chemicals, and mechanical injury. It also regulates temperature and the amount of water released into the environment. This article discusses the relevant anatomical structures of the skin’s epidermal layer, its structure, function, embryology, vascular supply, innervation, surgical considerations, and clinical relevance.
Skin Thickness
The thickness of each layer of the skin varies depending on body region and categorized based on the thickness of the epidermal and dermal layers. Hairless skin found in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet is thickest because the epidermis contains an extra layer, the stratum lucidum. The upper back is considered thickest based on the thickness of the dermis, but it is considered “thin skin” histologically because the epidermal thickness lacks the stratum lucidum layer and is thinner than hairless skin.
Layers of Epidermis
The layers of the epidermis include the stratum basale (the deepest portion of the epidermis), stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum (the most superficial portion of the epidermis).
Stratum basale, also known as stratum germinativum, is the deepest layer, separated from the dermis by the basement membrane (basal lamina) and attached to the basement membrane by hemidesmosomes. The cells found in this layer are cuboidal to columnar mitotically active stem cells that are constantly producing keratinocytes. This layer also contains melanocytes.
Stratum spinosum, 8-10 cell layers, also known as the prickle cell layer contains irregular, polyhedral cells with cytoplasmic processes, sometimes called “spines”, that extend outward and contact neighboring cells by desmosomes. Dendritic cells can be found in this layer.
Stratum granulosum, 3-5 cell layers, contains diamond shaped cells with keratohyalin granules and lamellar granules. Keratohyalin granules contain keratin precursors that eventually aggregate, crosslink, and form bundles. The lamellar granules contain the glycolipids that get secreted to the surface of the cells and function as a glue, keeping the cells stuck together.
Stratum lucidum, 2-3 cell layers, present in thicker skin found in the palms and soles, is a thin clear layer consisting of eleidin which is a transformation product of keratohyalin.
Stratum corneum, 20-30 cell layers, is the uppermost layer, made up of keratin and horny scales made up of dead keratinocytes, known as anucleate squamous cells. This is the layer which varies most in thickness, especially in callused skin. Within this layer, the dead keratinocytes secrete defensins which are part of our first immune
Definition :
Tissue is a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit. A nonliving material, called the intercellular matrix, fills the spaces between the cells.
Histology (his′-TOL-oˉ-jē; histo- = tissue; logy = study of) is the science that deals with the study of tissues.
A pathologist (pa-THOL-oˉ - jist; patho- = disease) is a physician who examines cells and tissues to help other physicians make accurate diagnoses.
1. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines hollow organs, body cavities, and ducts; it also forms glands. This tissue allows the body to interact with both its internal and external environments.
2. Connective tissue protects and supports the body and its organs. Various types of connective tissues bind organs together, store energy reserves as fat, and help provide the body with immunity to disease-causing organisms.
3. Muscular tissue is composed of cells specialized for contraction and generation of force. In the process, muscular tissue generates heat that warms the body.
4. Nervous tissue detects changes in a variety of conditions inside and outside the body and responds by generating electrical signals called nerve action potentials (nerve impulses) that activate muscular contractions and glandular secretions.
In biology, cell signaling or cell communication is the ability of a cell to receive, process, and transmit signals with its environment and with itself.
ell signaling is a fundamental property of all cellular life in prokaryotes and eukaryotes .
Signals that originate from outside a cell (or extracellular signals) can be physical agents like mechanical pressure, voltage, temperature, light, or chemical signals (e.g., small molecules, peptides, or gas).Signaling molecules can be synthesized from various biosynthetic pathways and released through passive or active transports, or even from cell damage.
Receptors play a key role in cell signaling as they are able to detect chemical signals or physical stimuli.
Receptors are generally proteins located on the cell surface or within the interior of the cell such as the cytoplasm, organelles, and nucleus.
Cell surface receptors usually bind with extracellular signals (or ligands), which causes a conformational change in the receptor that leads it to initiate enzymic activity, or to open or close ion channel activity. Some receptors do not contain enzymatic or channel-like domains but are instead linked to enzymes or transporters.
Other receptors like nuclear receptors have a different mechanism such as changing their DNA binding proper properties and cellular localization to the nucleus.
Structure and functions of cell, transport across cell membrane, cell
division, cell junctions. General principles of cell communication,
the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body
The basic tenets of the cell theory are as follows:
All living things are made up of one or more cells.
The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living things.
Cells come from pre-existing cells through the process of division.
All cells are the same in regard to chemical composition.
Cells also communicate with each other. Whether in plants, humans, or animals, they connect to create a solid, well formed organism. In humans, cells build tissues, tissues form organs, and organs work together to keep the body alive.
Experts estimate that there are around 200Trusted Source cell types in the human body.
Allergies are the result of your immune system's response to a substance. Immune responses can be mild, from coughing and a runny nose, to a life-threatening reaction know as anaphylaxis.
A person becomes allergic when their body develops antigens against a substance
The purpose of the immune system is to defend itself and keep microorganisms, such as certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi, out of the body, and to destroy any infectious microorganisms that do invade the body.
The immune system is made up of a complex and vital network of cells and organs that protect the body from infection.
The organs involved with the immune system are called the lymphoid organs. They affect growth, development, and the release of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).
The blood vessels and lymphatic vessels are important parts of the lymphoid organs.
They carry the lymphocytes to and from different areas in the body.
Each lymphoid organ plays a role in the production and activation of lymphocytes.

Trichotillomania (trik-o-til-o-MAY-nee-uh), also called hair-pulling disorder, is a mental disorder that involves recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body, despite trying to stop.
Hair pulling from the scalp often leaves patchy bald spots, which causes significant distress and can interfere with social or work functioning. People with trichotillomania may go to great lengths to disguise the loss of hair.
For some people, trichotillomania may be mild and generally manageable. For others, the compulsive urge to pull hair is overwhelming. Some treatment options have helped many people reduce their hair pulling or stop entirely.Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of trichotillomania often include:
Repeatedly pulling your hair out, typically from your scalp, eyebrows or eyelashes, but sometimes from other body areas, and sites may vary over time
An increasing sense of tension before pulling, or when you try to resist pulling
A sense of pleasure or relief after the hair is pulled
Noticeable hair loss, such as shortened hair or thinned or bald areas on the scalp or other areas of your body, including sparse or missing eyelashes or eyebrows
Preference for specific types of hair, rituals that accompany hair pulling or patterns of hair pulling
Biting, chewing or eating pulled-out hair
Playing with pulled-out hair or rubbing it across your lips or face
Repeatedly trying to stop pulling out your hair or trying to do it less often without success
Significant distress or problems at work, school or in social situations related to pulling out your hair
Many people who have trichotillomania also pick their skin, bite their nails or chew their lips. Sometimes pulling hairs from pets or dolls or from materials, such as clothes or blankets, may be a sign. Most people with trichotillomania pull hair in private and generally try to hide the disorder from others.
For people with trichotillomania, hair pulling can be:
Focused. Some people pull their hair intentionally to relieve tension or distress — for example, pulling hair out to get relief from the overwhelming urge to pull hair. Some people may develop elaborate rituals for pulling hair, such as finding just the right hair or biting pulled hairs.
Automatic. Some people pull their hair without even realizing they're doing it, such as when they're bored, reading or watching TV.
The same person may do both focused and automatic hair pulling, depending on the situation and mood. Certain positions or rituals may trigger hair pulling, such as resting your head on your hand or brushing your hair.
Trichotillomania can be related to emotions:
Negative emotions. For many people with trichotillomania, hair pulling is a way of dealing with negative or uncomfortable feelings, such as stress, anxiety, tension, boredom, loneliness, fatigue or frustration.
Positive feelings.
The earliest indications of the biological nature of viruses came from studies in 1892 by the Russian scientist Dmitry I. Ivanovsky and in 1898 by the Dutch scientist Martinus W. Beijerinck.
Beijerinck first surmised that the virus under study was a new kind of infectious agent, which he designated contagium vivum
fluidum, meaning that it was a live, reproducing organism that differed from other organisms.
Both of these investigators found that a disease of tobacco plants could be transmitted by an agent, later called tobacco mosaic virus, passing through a minute filter that would not allow the passage of bacteria.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. What is Biochemical Test
Presence or absence of certain enzymes, intermediatory
metabolites or end products often give valuable information in
identifying and classifying or differentiating microorganisms.
Some of the most important biochemical reactions are
summarized as:
4. IMVIC TEST
• Theory: The test is used to differentiate the gram
negative enteric bacteria of the family
Enterobacteriaceae on the basis of their biochemical
properties and enzymatic reactions in presence of a
specific substrate. The test involves four different types
of tests as (i) Indole production; (ii) Methyl- red (iii)
Voges-Praskauer and (iv) Citrate utilization. The name
IMVIC stands for the first letter of each test respectively.
5. IMVIC TEST
• 1. Indole Production Test
Principle: Some enteric bacteria (e.g. E.coli) produce indole (a
nitrogen containing compound) during the hydrolysis of
tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid which is
oxidized by some bacteria with the help of an enzyme
tryptophanase with the formation of indole, pyruvic acid and
ammonia.
Tryptophan indole + pyruvic acid + NH3
Tryptophanase
6. IMVIC TEST
• The indole production can be demonstrated by inoculating a
bacterium into tryptophan broth, the indole produced can be
detected by adding Kovac's reagent
(dimethylaminobenzaldehyde) which produces a cherry-red
colour band at the junction of medium and the reagent.
Indole +Kovac’s reagent ---> Rosindole(cherry red
compound)+H2O
HCL
(Butanol)
7. IMVIC TEST
• Medium used: Tryptone broth (1%) or Indole Tryptophan Broth Medium.
• Reagent used: Kovac’s reagent.
• Procedure :
• 1. Prepare 1% tryptone broth and dispense in 5 ml amounts in a sterile
test tubes.
• 2.Inoculate the broth tubes with the test organism.
• 3. Incubate the tubes at 37 °C for 24-48 hours.
• 4. After incubation, add 0.5 to 1 ml of Kovac’s reagent to each tube.
• 5. Shake the tubes gently for 10-15 minutes and allow to stand so that the
reagent comes at the top.
• 6. Examine the colour in the reagent layer.
8. IMVIC TEST
• Results: After 2 minutes, a cherry red or dark red colour band
appears at the junction of medium and the reagent which is
an indicative of a positive test for indole production.
9. IMVIC TEST
2. MR & VP Test:-
A) Methyl Red(MR) Test:- The test is used to detect the
production of acid during the fermentation of glucose.
By production of acid, pH of the medium falls and it is
maintained below 4.5. A red colour signifies positive
while yellow signifies a negative test.
10. IMVIC Test
B) Voges – Proskauer (VP) test: Many bacteria ferment
carbohydrates with the production of acetyl methyl
carbiol (acetoin). In the presence of alkali and
atmospheric oxygen, the small amount of acetyl methyl
carbiol presence in the medium is oxidised to diacetyl
which reacts with the peptone of the broth to give a
red colour.
11. IMVIC Test
Medium used: MR-VP Broth.
Reagents used: Barritt’s Reagent
VP reagent 1 (5% alpha-naphthol dissolved in absolute alcohol)
VP reagent II (40% potassium hydroxide solution).
Procedure:-
1. Prepare MR-VP broth and dispense in 5 ml amounts in a sterile
test tubes making two sets of tubes for two tests (total of 6
tubes, 2 each for the two tests with 2 control tubes).
2. Inoculate the tubes with the test organisms.
12. IMVIC Test
3. Incubate the tubes at 35°C for 48 hours.
4. Add 5 drops of methyl red indicator to the one set of tubes and
observe the change in colour for MR test.
5. Add 10 drops of VP reagent I and 2-3 drops of VP reagent II to the
other set of two tubes.
6. Gently shake the tubes for 30 seconds, remove the plugs/caps to
expose the media to
external oxygen.
7. Allow the tubes to stand for 15-30 minutes to complete the
reaction. Now observe the change in colour for VP test.
13. IMVIC Test
• Observation:-
1.In MR test, the methyl red indicator in the pH range of 4
will remain red (throughout the tube) which is an indicative
of a positive test, while turning of methyl red to yellow is a
negative test.
2.In VP test, the development of a pink-red colour is an
indicative of a positive VP test while as no change in colour
or faint brown colour (copper color) is an indicative of a
negative test.
15. Citrate Utilization Test
• Principle:- The test is mainly used to differentiate among
enteric bacteria on the basis of their ability to utilize citrate
as the sole source of carbon which depends upon the
presence of an enzyme citrase that breaks down the citrate to
oxaloacetic acid (OAA) and acetic acid(AA). These products are
further enzymatically converted into pyruvic acid and carbon
dioxide.
16. Contd…
The indicator used in the above procedure is bromothymol blue. It is
green when acidic (pH 6.8 or below) and blue when alkaline(pH 7.6 or
higher).
Medium used: Simmon’s Citrate Agar Medium.
Procedure:
1. Prepare Simmon’s citrate agar slants aseptically.
2. Inoculate the slants by stabbing to the base of slant. Thereafter
streak the surface (stab and-streak inoculation).
3. Incubate the slants at 37 °C for 48 hours.
17. Contd
Results: The growth of the organism at stabbed region and
change in colour of the medium from green to blue indicates
citrate utilization by a given organism and hence a positive test.
While as no growth and no colour change of the medium is
assigned as negative test
19. Sugar Fermentation Test
Sugar Fermentation: The ability of microorganisms to
ferment various sugar is tested by inoculation of the
test microorganisms in different sugar media containing
indicators. Acid production is shown by change in the
colour of the medium to pink or red and the gas. If
produced, gets collected in Durham’s tube.
20. Litmus Milk Test
Litmus milk reactions: The major substrates capable of
transformation are milk sugar lactose and the milk
proteins casein, lacto- albumin and lactoglobulin.
Litmus milk forms an excellent differential medium in
which microorganisms can metabolise milk substrates
depending on their enzymatic complement such as
lactose fermentation, gas production, litmus reduction,
curd formation, proteolysis and alkaline reaction.
21. Nitrate Reaction Test
Nitrate reduction test: This test detects the production of enzyme nitrate
reduction which reduces nitrate to nitrite. Inoculate test microorganisms in
5ml medium containing potassium nitrate, peptone and distilled water.
Incubate it at 37 for 96 hours. Then add 0.1ml test reagent which consists of
equal volumes of sulphanilic acid and a naphthylamine in 5N acetic mixed just
before use. A red colour development within a few minutes indicates the
presence of nitrite.
22. Potassium Cyanide Test
Potassium cyanide test: This test is used to detect the ability of
microorganisms to grow in the presence of potassium cyanide.
Inoculate buffered people peptone water medium containing 1
in 13,000 concentration of potassium cyanide with test
microorganisms. Incubate at 37 for 24-48 hours and detect the
development of turbidity in the medium.
23. Cataise Production
• Catalase production: Add a nutrient agar. Alternatively, pick
up a few colonies of the test microorganisms with platinum
loop from nutrient agar plate and dip it in a drop of 10%
hydrogen on a clean glass slide. The production of gas
bubbles from the culture indicates a positive reaction.
24. Urease Test
Urease test: This test detect the ability of a microorganisms to
produce urease enzyme. The test microorganisms is inoculated
on the entire slope of Christensen’s medium which contains urea
and a phenol red indicator. It is incubated at 37 and examined
after 4 hours and after overnight incubation. Development of
purple-pink colour indicates production of urease. The latter in
the presence of water convert urea into ammonia and
carbondioxide. Ammonia makes the medium alkaline and phenol
red indicator changes to purple-red in colour.
25. Oxidase Test
• Oxidase test: This depends on the presence of oxidases (in bactria) that
catayse the oxidation of reduce tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine
dihydrochloride (oxidase reagent) by molecular oxygen. Add a drp of
freshly prepared 1% solution of oxidase reagent on a piece of filter paper.
Then rub a few colonies of test microorganism on it. If it is oxidase
positive, it will produce a deep purple colour within 10 seconds.
Alternatively, pour oxidase reagent over the colonies of the test
microorganisms on the culture plate. The colonies of oxidase positive
microorganisms repidly develop a deep purple colour.
