A) 1) Your patient has HIV B) In all likelihood, the patient has tuberculosis C) This result would be a normal outcome when looking at normal sputum of healthy people.

Your staining procedure was performed correctly. What is your best explanation as to why the bacteria have stained this way? A) 3) There is something in the wall of the bacteria that has affected the uptake of the crystal violet into the cell wall, thereby staining it improperly B) The specimen did not undergo heat fixation before staining therefore, the primary dye does not stick properly to the wall. C) The bacteria were taken from an inappropriate medium and a chemical is interfering with proper staining of the cells D) These are mutant bacteria which cannot be stained like other bacteria. 4) which of the following species of bacteria is not closely related to the others? A) Streptoccocus pyogenes 4) -- C) Staphylococcus epidermidis D) Staphylococcus auricularis E) Escherichia coli 5) A client has a serious respiratory infection.
