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.
Gram-negative bacteria will not absorb the dye due to their construction. Some examples of gram-negative coci are three organisms that cause sexually transmitted disease, a meningitis, and respiratory symptoms
Examples of Gram negative cocci bacteria are: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a STD, Neisseria meningitidis, causing a meningitis, and Moraxella catarrhalis a respiratory disease.
a garam negative cocci is a type of cocci bacteria which is negative for gram staining. which means it has an outer membrane and a thin peptidoglycan wall
gram positive..
Neisseria gonorrhoeae ( nīsə′rēə ′gänə′rē′ī ) ( microbiology ) A gram-negativecoccus pathogen that causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea
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.
round . . .spherical -just think "o" when you see the name because the letters are round
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?
a gram negative rod
Look at them under a microscope! If they are cocci, they will look like balls. If they are rods, they will look like...rods!
gram positive..

YES
Corynebacterium is a non spore forming gram positive cocci
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.

gram negetive coccus
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 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?
Penicillin is NOT effective against gram positive and negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. it is not effective against rest of the organisms.
