i think is gram + It is gram positive, usually occurring in chains and pairs of gram positive cocci. It is also a beta hemolytic organism, meaning it will completely lyse RBC's in a zone around individual colonies. If you are using a Mannitol Salt agar medium, in this zone then it will be transparent.

∙ 15y agoStrep is gram positive. Likewise for staphylococcus. The reason is that a layer of peptidolycan (cross-links of NAG and NAM residues) stains blue during staining procedures. Gram negative bacteria also have peptidoglycan in their cells, but the difference is that it exists in the periplasmic space between the outer membrane and inner membrane. Gram positive bacteria do not have periplasmic spaces, but an inner membrane and a cell wall loaded with peptidoglycan.

Frimbriae are structures related to Gram-negative bacteria. S. Pneumoniae, however, is Gram-positive. Therefore it does not have fimbriae.
