In the API 20NE system, positive for β -galactosidase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis; but negative for cytochrome oxidase, arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, indole production, nitrate reduction, and glucose fermentation. Glucose is utilized as a sole carbon source; while mannitol, capric acid, mannose, arabinose, D-maltose, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, potassium gluconate, malic acid, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and phenylacetic acid are not.
