The sample result is unclear. A number of variables could contribute to mixed results including contaminated equipment, not enough iodine when staining the sample, too much ethanol when rinsing, or not the sample did not heat long enough.

If there are any purple bacteria it is probably Gram-positive, but perhaps the stain did not take well to the others. If this happened to me I would re-stain the sample and try again.
