What is the difference between gram-positive cocci and gram-negative rods?
Gram-positive cocci are bacteria with a spherical shape that retain a purple stain in the Gram staining method, indicating a thick peptidoglycan cell wall. Gram-negative rods are bacteria with a rod shape that appear pink after Gram staining due to their thinner peptidoglycan cell wall and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides. Additionally, gram-negative rods generally have higher resistance to antibiotics compared to gram-positive cocci.

A Gram-negative HVS (high vaginal swab) test may show Gram-positive cocci due to contamination or the presence of mixed flora in the vaginal area. While the primary target of the test is typically Gram-negative bacteria, the normal vaginal microbiota can include Gram-positive cocci such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus species. Additionally, the Gram staining process may reveal various bacterial types in different proportions, leading to the presence of Gram-positive cocci alongside Gram-negative organisms.
