Hey!
I had made a mnemonic to remember the biochemical tests given by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Mnemonic: Strept pneumonia will BOInQ (boink) your brains out.
Bile solubility
Optoschin sensitivity
Inulin fermentation
Quellung reaction
Optoschin sensitivity
Inulin fermentation
Quellung reaction
All of the above tests given positive by Pneumococci and differentiates Streptococcus pneumoniae from other Streptococci.
