Gram positive cocci are bacteria that are spherical in shape and have a thick cell wall made of peptidoglycan. They can be connected in chains, clusters or various other arrangements. They are common on the skin and in the respiratory tract of humans, Some are normal flora, while others are pathogens.

Is S epidermidis gram negative or gram positive?
gram positive..
Is Neisseria meningitidis Gram-positive cocci?
Neisseria gonorrhoeae ( nīsə′rēə ′gänə′rē′ī ) ( microbiology ) A gram-negativecoccus pathogen that causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea
Does vancomycin treat gram negative bacterial infections?
Vancomycin is used to treat both Gram positive and Gram negative coccal infections. The drug inhibits the synthesis of peptigoglycan, a vital component of the cell wall of both Gram positive and Gram negative cocci. Although Gram negative cocci have an additional outer membrane that "vanco" can't penetrate, it can crack the outer membrane, ultimately allowing the drug to act on the cell.
Are all coccus shaped bacteria gram positive?
round . . .spherical -just think "o" when you see the name because the letters are round
What is S Acin in a urine culture report?
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?
Is E-coli a gram negative cocci or rods?
a gram negative rod
What is the difference between gram-positive cocci and gram-negative rods?
Look at them under a microscope! If they are cocci, they will look like balls. If they are rods, they will look like...rods!
Is S epidermidis gram negative or gram positive?

Suppose you are viewing a Gram stained field of red rods and purple cocci through the microscope What do you conclude?
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.
What is S Acin in a urine culture report?
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?
Does penicillin cure all infections and bacteria?
Penicillin is NOT effective against gram positive and negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. it is not effective against rest of the organisms.
