Aminogylcosides
a gram negative rod
Gram-negative rods, Motile and often pigmented, Common opportunistic pathogen
Spore forming, gram positive 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.
Bacteroides is a genus of anaerobic gram-negative rods.
the previous answer of gram positive rods is incorrect the correct answer is gram negative rods
Yes, Rocephin (ceftriaxone) is effective against many gram-negative rods. Zithromax (azithromycin) is not typically used to treat gram-negative rods due to limited coverage against this type of bacteria. Other antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones or aminoglycosides may be more appropriate.
meningtis
The most common gram-negative rods found in clinical settings are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii.
Moraxella are: - bacteria - short gram negative rods that occur in pairs - obligate parasites of mucosal surfaces
Sounds like Citrobacter freundii. Double check that you do have a gram negative rod that is motile, H2S negative and oxidative negative (most gram neg rods are).
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.
