Urease positive organisms
PUNCH :
P roteus (leads to alkaline urine)
U reaplasma (renal calculi)
N ocardia
C ryptoccocus (the fungus)
H elicobacter pylori
Listeria: motility
Istanbul sounds like Listambul = list + tumble .
Listeria has tumbling motility.
Staphylococci: novobiocin test to distinguish
coagulase negative staphylococci
Staph epi dermidis stays away from the
novobiocin disc like an epi demic.
· Therefore, epidermidis is sensitive to novobiocin.
Staph saprophyticus, much friendlier, comes up to the disc and says, " 'sap? '" [short for "whassup?", ie "what's up"].
· Therefore, saprophyticus is novobiocin resistant.
