Based on the growth you saw on your Lee’s Agar plate, what conclusions can you make about the bacteria present in the yogurt sample?
A patient suspected to have a UTI infection had a metallic green growth on EMB agar and also had positive culture on blood agar plates. The patient was most likely infected with:
Klebsiella
E.coli
Proteus mirabilis
Enterobacter
Staphylococcus saprophyticus

- What is this organism? And what other test could be done to confirm it's identification? 1.Gram stain - positive cocci, chains Catalase - weak positive Hemolysis - beta BE - positive NaCl- positive Bacitracin - no zone of inhibition PYR - positive Answer: Enterococcus spp. CAMP test to verify the identity 2.Gram positive cocci, chains Catalase - negative Hemolysis - alpha BE - negative NaCl - negative P disk - resistant Bile Solubility - negative Answer - viridans group, Use PYR test to verifyarrow_forwardIdentify the Gram-staining reaction of the following microbes Staphylococcus Streptococcus Bacillus Clostridium Lactobacillus Mycobacterium Rickettsia Mycoplasma Chlamydiaarrow_forwardWhy is Salmonella typhi a gram negative bacilli?

- A patient comes to your office complaining of a productive cough, night sweats, and unexplained weight loss. You perform a Kinyoun acid-fast stain of his sputum and see the acid fast positive organisms depicted in the picture What is the organism most likely causing the disease? C Staphylococcus aureus Mycobacterium tuberculosis O Mycobacterium leprae Mycobacterium fortuitumarrow_forwardIndicate for each organism if it is susceptible, Intermediate or Resistant. Answer the question 2 and 3.arrow_forwardI tested organism growth on the MSA plate for strep. pyongenes, strep. pneumonia, s. aureus, and straph. epidermidis and my results were that streptococci organism did not grow or change color and the s.aureus changed color (yellow) and s.epi there was no change in color but they both showed growth. 1. If an unknown gram-positive bacterium was given, what would it mean if it grew on MSA? Name the organisms used above My answer: that it would be either s.aureus or s. epidermis because they are selective for salt-tolerant bacteria and can grow on mannitol 2. what would it mean if it both grew on MSA and turned yellow? Can you add to my answer or correct it. Thank you!arrow_forward
