Hafnia alvei is a species of bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic organism that is commonly found in the environment, particularly in soil and water, as well as in the intestines of humans and animals. While it is generally considered a non-pathogenic organism, it can occasionally be associated with opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Its presence in clinical samples may indicate contamination or opportunistic infection but is not typically a primary pathogen.

Could and organism be both MR and V-P positive?

yes an organism can be MR & VP positive both. for example staphylococcus. __________________________________________________________________ M-R (Methly Red) is a test used primarily to identify gram-negative rods. M-R is a pH indicator that changes when the pH is below 4.5. The indicator will turn red below 4.5 and yellow, in a pH above that point. V-P (Voges-Proskauer) is a specific test for metabolic intermediates when sugars ferment to produce butylene glycol. This does occur is some gram negative rods. A positive V-P test is almost never observed with a positive M-R test. The M-R test is based on the production of sufficient acid to lower the pH to below 4.5. If some of the sugar being fermented is being used to make butylene glycol, then it cannot be used to also produce acids.

What is the origin of name for hafnium?

The element hafnium takes its name from the Latin name for "Copenhagen", which is Hafnia. The discoverers of this element (which had been predicted by the great Mendeleev himself) were Dirk Coster and Georg von Hevesy. They did their work in Copenhagen, which also turns out to be the home town of the Nobel Laureate (physics) Niels Bohr.
