-
Methyl red test => Mixed acid fermentation with glucose
Negative VP test => Acetyl Methyl Carbinol present
Positive Citrate test => Able to use citrate as carbon source
Positive Catalase test => The enzyme catalase is present
Positive Reductase test (I assume it's Nitrate Reductase test) => Nitrate Reduction can occur
The most likely ones are Enterobacter and Klebsiella, you should go on from there.
