Staph gives both MR and VP positive. MR is used to detect acid production and VP for alkaline or neutral products. Staph first converts into acidic products and has ability to convert those acidic products into some neutral/basic products side by side. Hence it gives both positive results.

∙ 11y agoMR-VP testing is not necessary for B. cereus. A FTM test for (+) would be B. cereus and FTM test for (-) would be B. megaterium or B. subtilis. MR-VP is used to determine B. megaterium from B. subtilis. If MR is (+) would be B. subtilis, if VP (-) would be B. megaterium. --- Abstracted from Microbiology Laboratory Theory & Application (Brief Edition), pg. 476.

What are the Hemolysis test results for bacillus brevis?
Bacillus Brevis is alfa hemolytic for blood, it does not hydrolyses starch very well, nor urea and is VP negative (That means is MR positive).
Why is A positive VP test is almost never observed with a positive MR test?
its obvious!! methyl red test tells us if the bacteria is using mixed acid fermentation process. if it is following it will show +ve. vp test is used to detect whether acetotin is produced or not.if bacteria is using mixed acid fermentation process acetotin will not be produced. so our bacteria can be either mr +ve or vp -ve. or it can be both negative....it cant be both +ve for further doubts ping me at sandeepdsensation@gmail.com
What is the MRVP?
It is abbreviated MR/VP. MR stands for methyl red, and VP stands for Voges-Proskauer. It is used to identify bacteria producing stable acids by mechanisms of mixed acid fermentation and glucose. I found this on wikipedia.com.
Why you should make methyl red test and voges proskauer always with each other?
MR n VP tests always made wid each other becoz da media used for performing da test is divided into two parts n then used simaltaneously....
Organism which is citrate positive indole negative MR negative VP negative sorbitol negative?
Klebsiella sp.
What are the test results of MR-VP for Klebsiella pneumoniae?
Negative Negative Negative Negative
Bacillus cereus have a positive reaction for VP and citrate?
The B.cereus has a positive citrate test and a negative Voges Proskauer.
Could an organism be both MR and V-P positive?
An organism can not test positive for both an MR test and a V - P test. The MR test is an abbreviation for Methyl Red and it tests for E coli The V - P is an abbreviation for Vogue Proskauer and it tests for enterobacter and klebsiella.
What are the Hemolysis test results for bacillus brevis?
Bacillus Brevis is alfa hemolytic for blood, it does not hydrolyses starch very well, nor urea and is VP negative (That means is MR positive).
Why did you shake the MR-VP culture?
The MR-VP culture is shaken to oxygenate the culture.
What is the difference between bacillus coccus and spirillum?
Bacillus subtillus will test positive when performing a VP and Citrate test. Also, bacillus cereus is much more motile. It isn't as dependable as the chemical tests, but the cereus colonies will appear wispy and more widespread on an agar plate than those of subtilis.

What is a VP test for bacillus?
negative!
What does a positive Voges-Proskauer test mean?
It means that the bacterial organism uses the butylene glycol pathway; producing acetoin (acetylmethylcarbinol). This specific compound is produced only by bacteria that utilize this pathway. Usually (but not always) a positive Voges-Proskauer (VP) test indicates the organism is negative for the methyl red (MR) test. Both the MR and VP tests are usually done using the same culture; after dividing it into two equal volumes.
Which reaction definated VP test?
reaction of voges-proskauer test
What is the MRVP?
It is abbreviated MR/VP. MR stands for methyl red, and VP stands for Voges-Proskauer. It is used to identify bacteria producing stable acids by mechanisms of mixed acid fermentation and glucose. I found this on wikipedia.com.
Aerobic Bacteria that is citrate positive VP negative and MR positive?
Bacillus megaterium
