cocci

[19] Our study found predominance of gram positive cocci in septicaemia (44.3%) followed by gram negative bacilli (41.1%) and Candida sp.

Glycopeptide resistance in gram-positive cocci: A review.

In 1961, Frenkel and Hirsch first isolated a new type of fastidious, thiol-requiring, vitamin B6-dependent, pyridoxal-dependent, Gram-positive, satelliting cocci [1-5].

are small, slow-growing, nonmotile anaerobic Gram-negative cocci found as part of the normal flora of gastrointestinal, respiratory, and vaginal tracts.

According to MATTHEWS (2009), gentamicin is effective against gram-positive (cocci) and gram-negative (cocci and bacilli) bacteria, while chloramphenicol is active only against gram-positive cocci.

Among the 68 culture positive, cases 33 (48%) were Gram-positive cocci and 35 (52%) were Gram-negative bacilli.

Leuconostoc species are catalase negative, facultative anaerobic gram positive cocci configured in doubles or chains.

The smears from clinical samples stained with Giemsa revealed Dermatophilus congolensis as thin, branched septate filaments with multiple rows of spherical to ovoid cocci with typical 'rail road track arrangement of organisms' (Fig.

First reported in 1917, GS are facultative anaerobic, catalase-negative, gram-positive cocci. GS are found in pairs, clusters, or chains.

Overall, 84 isolates were available for analysis, 61/84 were Gram negative rods whereas 8/84 were Gram positive cocci. Fifteen had fungal growth.

Staphylococcus aureus as Gram-positive cocci were identified by the test of catalase positivity, coagulase and mannitol positivity.

Gram staining revealed gram-positive cocci and culture grew group D streptococci in samples taken from ear, trachea and nasopharynx.

Numerous studies have shown that Gram-negative bacilli ID scores are superior to Gram-positive cocci ID scores, particularly problematic streptococci (3).
