Q: does mgen being a gram negative organism typically produce leukocytes and nitrites in urine?

: 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.
