weird gram positive rod
We had an anaerobic blood culture bottle pop positive after 21 hours showing this gram positive rod. I am a student and this is my first time seeing rods that look like this on the bench. We plated it and are waiting for growth to use MALDI. Any guesses as to what it could be? I am aware it cannot be identified from a gram stain but I’m interested to know others’ thoughts. Based off my research I’m leaning towards lactobacillus, I will update when we ID it
