After a visit to Chicago over Christmas, a couple returns to St. Louis with nausea, diarrhea, and cramping in the lower right quadrant of their abdomens. They admitted to indulging in a family favorite of chitterlings over the holidays

The routine stool culture of both individuals provided the same results:
BAP: all colonies present are oxidase negative and no beta-hemolytic colonies observed
MAC: lactose fermenters and oxidase negative, non-lactose fermenters
HE: yellow colonies
PEA: no suspicious colonies
Campy blood agar: no growth

The additional agar demonstrates the potential enteric pathogen as _________ colonies.
