Figure 1. (A) The red medium is trypticase soy agar II sheep blood agar, and the blue medium is bromothymol blue lactose agar. The bacterial cells produced indole, and β-hemolysis was observed. Since there was no H2S production in Salmonella-Shigella agar medium, the bacterium was considered to be Edwardsiella of biogroup 1 rather than wild type. (B) The bacterium was a gram-negative short rod bacterium typical of Edwardsiella tarda and showed an Enterobacteriaceae-like morphology.
