The bacterial species that can be eliminated as possibilities for Anna’s infection are gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumonia, Streptococcus pyrogenes, Bacillus megaterium, and Micrococcus luteus. Based on the isolated bacteria, the resultant colonies produce a rod-shaped gram-negative bacterium, which is the bacterial species responsible for Anna’s infection.
