gram positive..
S. epidermidis is a gram positive cocci
negative
its gram -
There is no growth because S.Epidermidis is a gram positive bacteria. MacConkey selects for gram negatives. the bile salts and crystal violet inhibit gram positive growth in the medium
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?
Gramicidin S or Gramicidin Soviet is an antibiotic effective against some Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as well as some fungi. It is a derivative of gramicidin, produced by the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus brevis. I found the answer from the website of BOC Sciences (bocsci.com)
Post ID Special:Contributionssaid: "blue-violet.....because it is a gram-negative bacteria"Wrong...the color is correct, but S. aureus is gram-POSITIVE.
NO, s. epidermidis does not show up positive in an acid fast stain. The acid fast stain is a differential stain that differentiates cells with mycolic acids in their cells walls with those who do not. cells with mycolic acid are therefore acid fast. s epidermidis does not contain this waxy substance in their cell wall so it doesnt fall into this category.
Gram positive, coccus shape.
In terms of microbiology, S. aureus and S. epi can be differentiated through a number of metabolic tests. The tests being Methyl Red, Vogues-Prauskauer, Mannitol fermentation (of which S. aureus would be + and S. epi - ) and Oxidase (S. aureus - and S. epi + ).
Yes it is. This test can be used to differentiate between S. aureus (which is positive) and S. epidermidis (which is negative).
Metabolic tests such as an oxidase test can be used to differentiate S epidermidis and E faecalis. Such a test can be conducted by adding H2O2 to the colony. The result for S aureus will be negative and the result for S epidermidis will be positive.

S. mitis stains purple and therefore is a gram positive bacteria

Frimbriae are structures related to Gram-negative bacteria. S. Pneumoniae, however, is Gram-positive. Therefore it does not have fimbriae.
A 7-day-old culture may appear gram negative, when the organmisms are actually gram positive. Thus, S. epi would appear gram negative, and E. coli gram negative.
MacConkey agar is designed to grow Gram-negative bacteria and also contains crystal violet dye which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Since S. aureus is Gram-positive it should not grow on MacConkey agar. No. MacConkey agar inhibits MOST of the Gram-positive bacteria. There are some Gram-positive bacteria that can tolerate bile-salt are able to grow in MacConkey agar. Enterococcus and some species of Staphylococcus are able to grow in MacConkey.
