A member asked:
Does mgen being a gram negative organism typically produce leukocytes and nitrites in urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Mycoplasmas lack cell wall and are not stained by gram stain. Nitrites produced by the reduction of dietary nitrates by urinary gram-negative bacteria, especially E. coli, Klebsiella, and Proteus.
