Results of Gram stain and cultures. (A) Gram stain showing Gram-positive cocci in pairs and clusters, and pleomorphic coccobacilli (×1,000). (B) Granulicatella adiacens growing after 72 h at 37°C on a chocolate agar plate as 2- to 3-mm colonies (inset). (C) G. adiacens growing after 72 h at 37°C on sheep blood agar along a streak of Staphylococcus aureus (1) as 1- to 2-mm pinpoint satellite colonies (2), within the zone of beta-hemolysis (arrow). (D) 1 to 2-mm pinpoint satellite colonies of G. adiacens within the beta-hemolytic zone of a large Staphylococcus aureus colony.
