There are several gram positive cocci bacteria that exist as tetrads. An example is Micrococcus luteus, which can be found on human skin, water, air, etc.
Hope this helps.

Suppose you are viewing a Gram stained field of red rods and purple cocci through the microscope What do you conclude?

What is the conclusion of a gram stain of purple rods and cocci through a microscope?
This is a Gram Stain. If the technique was proper, the red rods are Gram-negative and the purple cocci are Gram-positive. This staining technique is used to help identify various bacteria. The Gram-positive bacteria that are purple hold the stain due to it's layered cell membrane. It contains a peptidoglycan layer that acts as a lattice trapping the crystal violet-Iodine dye complex.
