Solution

Organism: Staphylococcus saprophyticus ( Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus or CoNS)

Gross morphology:

Shape	Spherical cocci, forms grape-like clusters, can occur single, in pairs, tetrads or short chains
Size	0.5-1.5 um
Motility	Non-motile
Capsule	Encapsulated
Spore	Non-sporulating
Gram-Stain	Positive
Colony Morphology	Dwarf colonies, smooth, glossy, butyrous and sometimes wet appearance. Opaqe and white/non-pigmented in color.

Cuture Media: Phosphate blood agar or MacConkey agar

Antibiotic resistance: Novobiocin

Bench testing: The bench testing procedures can include colony charatierization, Gram-testing, Catalase test etc.

Biochemical testing to identify S. saprophyticus:

Test	Result
Catalase	Positive
Coagulase	Negative
DNase	Negative
Glucose	Negative
D-Xylose	Negative
Sucrose	Positive
D-Trehalose	Positive
Maltose	Positive
Anaerobic growth in thioglycollate	Positive
Urea	Positive

Appropriated automated system used for detection: Vitek automated anitmicrobial identification and susceptibility testing systems. The card that can be used in this case would be GPI (Gram Positive Identification) card.

The Gram stain differentiates Gram + bacteria from Gram – bacteria because of which of the following? Group of answer choices presence of an outer membrane in one group and absence in the other presence of teichoic acid in one group and absence in the other presence of ether-linked lipids in one group and absence in the other presence of peptidoglycan in one group and absence in the other difference in thickness of peptidoglycan layer between the two groups

"The most widely used stain in microbiology is the Gram stain. Based on differences in the structure of the bacterial cell wall, the Gram stain divides bacteria into two major groups: Gram-positive and Gram-negative. Gram-positive cells have a thick layer of peptidoglycan, a polymer made of amino acids and sugars, in the cell wall. Crystal violet binds to peptidoglycan, rendering the cell purple. Gram-negative cells also have peptidoglycan and initially also stain purple. Since the peptidoglycan layer is much thinner,...
