All isolates were positive for metachromatic granules and none of these showed capsule or endospore formation (Table 3). Endospore staining was carried out by heating the air dried bacterial smear with malachite green for 5 min, followed by rinsing with water and counterstaining with safranin for 30s.
HEMATURIA CAUSES. Some common causes of blood in the urine include the following. However, many of these conditions will have other presenting symptoms (see 'Symptoms of conditions associated with hematuria' below): âKidney or bladder (also called urinary tract) infections.
No amount of blood in your urine is normal but that doesn't mean that it is caused by something dangerous. Hematuria can be microscopic (not seen except by laboratory studies) or macroscopic (can be seen by the naked eye). The most common reason for blood in the urine is a urinary tract infection or an enlarged prostate. The most worrisome reason for having blood in the urine is cancer of the bladder or kidney. Having smoked in the past, exposure to industrial chemicals, and advanced age can be risk factors for having cancer.
