Why is catalase test performed on enterococcus faecium?
To differentiate it from other gram positive, bacteria that are coccus.
Describe a positive DNase test?
It means that the presence of certain bacteria are there. You will need to go through the whole test to find out if this is true.
What color indicate positive mannitol test?
Yellow, which means bacteria is able to produce acids from mannitol fermentation
What does the citrate metabolic test test for?
it tests the ability of a bacteria to use citrate as its sole carbon source. if its positive, it will raise the pH and there will be no acid in the end product.
What kingdom is gram positive bacteria?
Kingdom Gram-Positive Bacteria is a kingdom within the domain Bacteria.
Is lactobacillus casei is a gram negative bacteria or gram positive?
The Bacteria Sarcina lutea is Gram Positive Because If You Perform the Gram Test It Will Turn The Violet Color Which indicates It's Positiveness. What Makes It Positive Is the Peptidoglycan Located Within The The Bacterium
What are the EMB test results for Staphylococcus epidermidis?
The Eosine Methylene Blue test is selective for only gram-negative bacteria. It is possible for gram-positive bacteria to grow, but it would barely grow. Staphylococcus are gram-positive spherical bacteria. So it would not grow on the Eosine methylene Blue Agar.

What are the gram positive diplococci?
They are bacteria, their morphology is basically two cocci cells fused with one another. They test positive for the Gram staining test. An example of GPDC is the bacteria genus Streptococcus pneumoniae, the major causative agent for pneumonia; a pathological lung condition
What color indicate positive mannitol test?
Yellow, which means bacteria is able to produce acids from mannitol fermentation
What two groups of bacteria can be differentiated with the catalase test?
The morphologically similar Enterococcus (catalase negative) and Staphylococcus (catalase positive) can be differentiated using the catalase test.

You have been having some off and on bladder discomfort and took a home uti test It said positive for leukocytes but not nitrites- does this mean you have the infection?
First - you need to visit your doctor!!! If the test is positive, which it is, you need treatment, which you can only get from your doctor! What do these results mean? It means there are White blood cells in your urine, enough to make the test positive which is abnormal. As far as a negative nitrite test... If this is positive, it means you have Gram negative bacteria in your urine and need to be treated with antibiotics. If this is negative it can mean a few things - but the 3 big meanings are: 1.) there wasn't enough time fro the bacteria to make nitrites from nitrates OR 2.) you have an infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria (which do not make this test positive) OR 3.) there may be no bacteria. Bottom line - you cannot diagnose yourself, so see a physician. A urinary tract infection can turn VERY serious in a hurry, so you'll need treatment if you have an infection!
What microorganisms besides coliforms are liable to give positive presumptive test?
