The schizomycetes fungi are the most important of the vegetable growthsfound in human urine. The gonococcus, or the micro-coccus of gonorrhoea, forms little colonies in groups oftwo or four punctiform spherules on the pus-cells of gon-orrhoeal cystitis and urethritis (Fig. 2315, Vol. IV.).They are easily stained by the basic aniline dyes, andtheir recognition is important as affording a certainmeans of diagnosing between simple and specific Fig. 4286.—Hyaline Casts (X210).
