A stool culture yields growth on CAMPY CVA, what should be done next?

Which of the following are true regarding X&V factor? 1. X factor is hemin or hematin 2. V factor is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) 3. V factor is readily available in BAP 4. X factor is produced by Staphylococcus aureus

A patient presents to a clinic with a rash, itchy skin. Fever, chills, cough, and muscle aches. The doctor tells him that he has the flu and sends him home. Several weeks later, the patient returns to the clinic and states that he has been extremely fatigued and has had blood in his urine. Which organism would you expect to find? 

A urine culture from a 64 year old male grows a significant number of Gram-negative bacilli.  The organism is gamma hemolytic on BAP, clear on MAC, and yields the following biochemical reactions: TSI = K/A, motility pos, VP neg, MR pos, citrate neg, DNAse neg, ornithine pos, PAD pos, indole pos, urea pos, gelatinase neg, LIA red/yellow. What is the ID of this organism?

A gram-negative bacillus is isolated from the sputum culture from a 21 year-old cystic fibrosis patient. Based on the following biochemical reactions, what is the most likely identification of the organism? Oxidase = negative Motility = positive Glucose = oxidized Lysine = positive Nitrate = negative

Given the following biochemical reactions, identify the organism: Citrate: peacock blue PAD: negative H2S: negative Lysine: purple  Ornithine: purple  Decarb base: yellow  MR: negative VP: positive Indole: negative Motility: positive ONPG: positive  DNAse: negative  

Diagnosis of typhoid fever during the first two days of illness can BEST be confirmed by:

Gram negative bacilli are isolated from a wound culture of an immuncompromised patient in the ICU.  The organisms are clear on MAC and gamma hemolytic on BAP.  The following biochemical tests are available: motility neg, oxidase pos, glucose neg.  What is the ID of this organism?
