Phenol Red (PR) Broth is a differential test medium prepared asa base to which a carbohydrates is added. Included in the basemedium are peptone and the pH indicator phenol red.We willinoculate PR Glucose Broths with three organisms to determine theirfermentation characteristics.

Q1. Suppose you innoculate a PR broth with a slow-growingfermenter. After 48 hours, you see slight turbidity but score it as(-/-). Is this result a false positive or a false negative? Is thisa result of poor specificity or poor sensitivity of the testsystem?

Q2. Early formulations of this medium used a smaller amount ofcarbohydrate and occasionally produced false alkaline (pink)results after 48 hours. Why do you think this happened? List atleast two steps, as a microbiologist, that you could take toprevent the problem.
