You likely mean indole, not “insole.”
These tests are mainly used after a urine culture grows a pure isolate, especially a Gram-negative bacillus suspected to be an Enterobacterales organism. In UTI workups, common organisms include Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Proteus spp. The tests help provide a presumptive identification. They must be interpreted together with colony morphology, Gram stain, urine culture findings, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
A urine-pathogen identification guideline includes indole, citrate, hydrogen sulfide, and motility among the standard tests for Enterobacterales. Urine culture identification guideline

1. Indole test

Principle

The indole test detects whether the bacterium has the enzyme tryptophanase, which breaks down tryptophan to produce indole.
After incubation, Kovac's reagent is added. If indole is present, it reacts with the reagent to form a red or cherry-red layer.

Medium and reagents

  • Tryptone broth, peptone water, or tryptophan broth
  • Fresh pure colony
  • Kovac's reagent
  • Sterile inoculating loop

Procedure

  1. Label the tryptone broth tube.
  2. Using aseptic technique, inoculate the broth with a well-isolated colony from the urine culture plate.
  3. Incubate according to the laboratory SOP, commonly at 35-37°C for about 18-24 hours.
  4. Add approximately 3-5 drops of Kovac's reagent without shaking vigorously.
  5. Observe the top layer.

Interpretation

ResultAppearanceMeaning
PositiveBright red or cherry-red ring at the topIndole produced
NegativeYellow or no red ringIndole not detected

Relevance in UTI isolates

  • E. coli: usually indole positive
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae: usually indole negative
  • Klebsiella oxytoca: often indole positive
  • Proteus mirabilis: usually indole negative
  • Proteus vulgaris: usually indole positive
This is particularly helpful for separating E. coli from K. pneumoniae, and P. mirabilis from P. vulgaris. The medical microbiology text describes indole as a red dye reaction after adding a benzaldehyde reagent. Jawetz, Melnick & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology, 28th ed., Table 3-2.

2. Citrate utilization test

Principle

This test determines whether an organism can use citrate as its sole carbon source and ammonium salts as a nitrogen source.
The common medium is Simmons citrate agar, which contains bromothymol blue:
  • Neutral medium: green
  • Alkaline reaction: blue
Organisms that metabolize citrate produce alkaline products, causing the medium to turn blue.

Medium

  • Simmons citrate agar slant
  • Sterile straight wire or needle is preferred

Procedure

  1. Use a light inoculum from a pure colony. A heavy inoculum may carry nutrients from the previous medium and cause a false-positive result.
  2. Touch a sterile straight wire to the colony.
  3. Streak the surface of the citrate agar slant lightly.
  4. Do not stab the butt.
  5. Incubate according to laboratory SOP, commonly 35-37°C for 18-24 hours. Some slow positive isolates may need longer observation as specified by the SOP.
  6. Examine for growth and color change.

Interpretation

ResultAppearanceMeaning
PositiveGrowth with blue colorCitrate utilized
NegativeNo growth and medium stays greenCitrate not utilized

Relevance in UTI isolates

  • E. coli: usually citrate negative
  • K. pneumoniae: usually citrate positive
  • Enterobacter spp.: commonly citrate positive
  • Proteus mirabilis: often citrate positive
Thus, an isolate that is lactose fermenting, mucoid, nonmotile, indole negative, and citrate positive strongly supports K. pneumoniae as a presumptive identification.
Citrate-positive growth is a recognized feature of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Jawetz, Melnick & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology, 28th ed., Table 3-2.

3. Mannitol fermentation test

Principle

This test detects whether an organism can ferment the carbohydrate mannitol and produce acid.
A common format is phenol red mannitol broth:
  • Phenol red is red-orange at neutral pH.
  • Acid production turns it yellow.
  • A Durham tube may be present to detect gas.

Important distinction

There are two common uses of mannitol-containing media:
  1. Phenol red mannitol broth: tests mannitol fermentation.
  2. Mannitol salt agar: used mainly to select for staphylococci because its high salt concentration inhibits many other bacteria.
For Gram-negative UTI isolates, the carbohydrate broth or a validated identification panel is more relevant than mannitol salt agar.

Medium and materials

  • Phenol red mannitol broth, with or without a Durham tube
  • Pure colony
  • Sterile loop

Procedure

  1. Inoculate the mannitol broth with a pure colony.
  2. Incubate according to local SOP, commonly at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours.
  3. Observe the color of the broth.
  4. If a Durham tube is present, look for a bubble indicating gas production.

Interpretation

ResultAppearanceMeaning
Mannitol positiveYellow brothAcid produced from mannitol fermentation
Mannitol negativeRed or orange brothNo acid from mannitol fermentation
Gas positiveBubble in Durham tubeFermentation with gas production

Relevance in UTI isolates

  • E. coli: usually mannitol positive
  • K. pneumoniae: commonly mannitol positive
  • Proteus and other Enterobacterales can show species or strain variation, so mannitol alone should not be used to identify them.
E. coli typically gives positive results for mannitol fermentation and produces gas from glucose. Jawetz, Melnick & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology, 28th ed., Chapter 15.

4. Motility test

Principle

The motility test determines whether bacteria can move through semisolid agar, usually by means of flagella.
Motile organisms spread away from the stab line. Nonmotile organisms remain confined to the line where they were inoculated.

Medium

  • Motility test medium, typically semisolid agar
  • Common agar concentration is approximately 0.4%, although the exact formulation depends on the laboratory manufacturer and SOP.
  • A sterile straight inoculating needle

Procedure

  1. Pick a pure colony using a sterile straight needle.
  2. Insert the needle into the center of the semisolid medium in a straight vertical line, usually about two-thirds to three-quarters of the depth.
  3. Withdraw the needle along the same path. Do not wiggle it.
  4. Incubate according to SOP, commonly at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours.
  5. Examine the tube against light.

Interpretation

ResultAppearance
Motility positiveDiffuse, hazy growth spreading away from stab line
Motility negativeGrowth confined to the sharp stab line

Relevance in UTI isolates

  • E. coli: usually motile
  • K. pneumoniae: typically nonmotile
  • Proteus mirabilis: motile
  • Proteus vulgaris: motile
  • Enterobacter spp.: usually motile
Motility is particularly useful for differentiating a mucoid lactose-fermenting Klebsiella isolate from E. coli or Enterobacter. Klebsiella species characteristically lack motility, whereas Enterobacter species commonly test motility-positive. Jawetz, Melnick & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology, 28th ed., Chapter 15.

5. Triple sugar iron, TSI, test

Principle

TSI agar tests several biochemical properties in one tube:
  1. Fermentation of glucose
  2. Fermentation of lactose
  3. Fermentation of sucrose
  4. Gas production
  5. Hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, production
TSI contains:
  • 0.1% glucose
  • 1% lactose
  • 1% sucrose
  • Phenol red pH indicator
  • Ferrous sulfate for detection of H₂S
It is prepared as a slant with a deep butt:
  • Slant: mainly aerobic
  • Butt: relatively anaerobic

How to inoculate TSI correctly

  1. Take a pure colony with a sterile straight needle.
  2. Stab the butt once, nearly to the bottom of the tube.
  3. Withdraw the needle along the same line.
  4. Streak the slant surface in a zigzag pattern.
  5. Leave the cap loosened if required by local SOP.
  6. Incubate at the laboratory’s validated conditions, commonly 35-37°C for 18-24 hours.
  7. Read at the specified time. Delayed reading may produce incorrect results because of alkaline reversion.

Meaning of colors

  • Yellow = acid = A
  • Red or pink = alkaline = K
  • Blackening = H₂S positive
  • Cracks, bubbles, or lifted agar = gas production

Main TSI reactions

TSI reactionSlant / butt appearanceInterpretation
A/AYellow slant / yellow buttGlucose plus lactose and/or sucrose fermented
K/ARed slant / yellow buttGlucose fermented only
K/K or K/NCRed slant / red or unchanged buttNo carbohydrate fermentation
H₂S positiveBlack precipitate in buttHydrogen sulfide produced
Gas positiveSplits, cracks, bubbles, lifted agarGas formed during fermentation

Why K/A happens

Glucose is present at a low concentration. If an organism ferments only glucose:
  • Initially, both slant and butt become acidic and yellow.
  • Later, the aerobic slant uses proteins and becomes alkaline again, turning red.
  • The butt remains acidic and yellow because it is more anaerobic.

Important rule for blackened TSI

If the butt is black due to H₂S, interpret the butt as acidic, even when the yellow color cannot be seen.

Relevance in UTI isolates

UTI organismCommon TSI patternOther useful clues
E. coliA/A, often gas, H₂S negativeIndole positive, citrate negative, motile
K. pneumoniaeA/A, often gas, H₂S negativeMucoid, nonmotile, citrate positive
P. mirabilisK/A, H₂S positive, often gasUrease positive, motile, often indole negative
P. vulgarisK/A, often H₂S positiveUrease positive, motile, often indole positive
Salmonella spp.K/A, usually H₂S positiveUsually not a routine uncomplicated UTI isolate, but may occur in special settings
TSI contains glucose, lactose, sucrose, ferrous sulfate, and phenol red. A K/A result usually represents glucose-only fermentation, while A/A indicates lactose and/or sucrose fermentation. Jawetz, Melnick & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology, 28th ed., Chapter 15.

How to use all tests together in a UTI isolate

Pattern 1: E. coli

Typical urine isolate:
  • Lactose-fermenting colony on MacConkey agar
  • Indole: positive
  • Citrate: negative
  • Mannitol: positive
  • Motility: positive
  • TSI: A/A, gas positive, H₂S negative
This is the classic profile of the most frequent UTI pathogen.

Pattern 2: Klebsiella pneumoniae

Typical urine isolate:
  • Large, very mucoid lactose-fermenting colonies
  • Indole: negative
  • Citrate: positive
  • Mannitol: usually positive
  • Motility: negative
  • TSI: A/A, often gas, H₂S negative

Pattern 3: Proteus mirabilis

Typical urine isolate:
  • Non-lactose-fermenting colony; swarming may be seen on nonselective agar
  • Indole: usually negative
  • Citrate: often positive
  • Motility: positive
  • TSI: K/A with H₂S positive
  • Urease: strongly positive, an especially important companion test
Proteus mirabilis is important in UTI because urease activity promotes alkaline urine and infection-stone formation. E. coli, Klebsiella spp., and Proteus spp. are recognized urinary pathogens, with E. coli the leading cause. Clinical nephrology UTI organisms

Practical cautions

  • Perform tests only from a pure, fresh culture.
  • Include positive and negative quality-control organisms according to the laboratory SOP.
  • A single biochemical reaction never confirms an organism.
  • Organism reactions can vary by strain, incubation duration, medium formulation, and inoculum size.
  • In real UTI diagnosis, identification must be accompanied by colony count/significance assessment and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
  • For suspected Proteus, add urease. For non-lactose-fermenters or oxidase-positive isolates, add tests that distinguish organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
