Question
What are the results from the gram stain and result of the API strip ? (Positive/ negative) for each test in the strip and numerical code
**Title: Understanding the API® 20 E System**

The API® 20 E system is a well-established microbiological tool used for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative bacteria. It consists of 20 miniaturized biochemical tests, each of which provides a colorimetric reaction that indicates the presence or absence of certain metabolic processes.

**Components:**

- **Test Strip:** The test strip in the image displays a series of microtubes containing dehydrated substrates. Each tube is inoculated with a bacterial suspension and incubated to allow for a metabolic reaction, which is then assessed based on color changes.

- **Tubes and Tests:** The following tests are included on the strip:
  - **ONPG (Ortho-Nitrophenyl-β-galactoside)**
  - **ADH (Arginine Dihydrolase)**
  - **LDC (Lysine Decarboxylase)**
  - **ODC (Ornithine Decarboxylase)**
  - **CIT (Citrate Utilization)**
  - **H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide Production)**
  - **URE (Urease)**
  - **TDA (Tryptophan Deaminase)**
  - **IND (Indole Production)**
  - **VP (Voges-Proskauer Test)**
  - **GEL (Gelatinase)**
  - **GLU (Glucose)**
  - **MAN (Mannitol)**
  - **INO (Inositol)**
  - **SOR (Sorbitol)**
  - **RHA (Rhamnose)**
  - **SAC (Sucrose)**
  - **MEL (Melibiose)**
  - **AMY (Amygdalin)**
  - **ARA (Arabinose)**

**Interpretation Chart:**

A chart is provided below the test strip, where plus (+) and minus (-) signs indicate results for each test. 

- **Column Annotations:** Numbers under each column often reflect results used in generating a numerical profile for bacterial identification using a database or coding book. 
- **Additional Sections:** Includes boxes for further annotations and a zone for identifying the test kit's reference number (#2) and date (2023/10/12).

**Usage Instructions:**

- **Reagents:** Some
