How can a gram negative HVS test has a a gram-positive cocci?

A Gram-negative HVS (high vaginal swab) test may show Gram-positive cocci due to contamination or the presence of mixed flora in the vaginal area. While the primary target of the test is typically Gram-negative bacteria, the normal vaginal microbiota can include Gram-positive cocci such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus species. Additionally, the Gram staining process may reveal various bacterial types in different proportions, leading to the presence of Gram-positive cocci alongside Gram-negative organisms.
