You receive a throat culture swab from a 36-year-old male patient who complains of mild fever and pain while swalowing Upon
observation, the clinician noted white patches on the throat and decided to collect a culture. At 24 hours incubation you pul the plates and
find that very little has grown in the SAB plate, the gram stain only noted few epithelial cells. At 48 hours, you find numerous (but smal)
creamy white colonies. You suspect staph or strep, but the fact that there was no growth at 24 hours concems you As the gram stain
revealed no organisms, what would be your next step?
O A Run a catalase test
OB Run a coagulase test
O C. Run an oxidase test.
O D. Perform a wet prep.
O E. Pull out the original swab and set up another gram stain.
