"Ward's Phenomena"

This organism can be isolated from many human urinary tract infections, as well as polluted water and sewage. It is commonly identified by its distinctive grape-like smell (trimethylamine) or because it can turn the agar light green due to production of a blue pigment (pyocyanin).

All microbial cultures undergo an extensive quality control program prior to releasing for sale, so they are guaranteed for purity as well as for species.

This yellow, shiny organism is known to cause wound infections and more famously, toxic shock syndrome.
