Microorganism ID Request - (Aug/27/2021 )

The images are from an infected urinary tract urine sample.

 

The unidentified microorganism is shown in images A, B and C. In image A1 the speckled background is the bacteria Enterococcus Faecalis. The inserts to the right of that are other instances of the same organism as they appear in free flowing fluid.

The images B and C show how it changes after being left squashed between two glass slides for a few days.

 

If no one can identify it exactly just finding out what type of microorganism it is will help.

Why do you think this is an "organism"?  

-Phil Geis-

I suggest you should look up UTI and casts.

Thanks, they are most likely hyaline casts.
