Gram positive cocci - arranged in chains
what does a report mean when is say 1,000-10,000 CFU/ml of Gram positive cocci and Gram negative bacilli. Is this a positive culture?
Gram positive organisms are either rods or cocci. Rods, or bacilli, include Bacillus anthracis, which causes anthrax, while cocci include Staphylococcus aureus.
The rods will be gram negative, the cocci are gram positive: most likely, the slide was made from a mixed culture of bacteria, or the culture was contaminated.
