case_images: A. Gram-stain of cultured organism demonstrating curved Gram-negative rods. b. Colonies on sheep blood agar. Colonies appear to be beta-hemolytic when confluent. Beta hemolysis is less apparent on sheep agar (bottom) when colonies are spread further apart. c. Lactose non-fermenting organism demonstrated (top). d. Yellow colonies on thiosulphate citrate bile salt sucrose agar (TCBS).

case_images: Blood culture Gram-stain demonstrated curved Gram-negative rods (Fig. 2a). Beta hemolysis was observed on sheep blood agar (though the colonies appeared confluent) (Fig. 2b). On MacConkey agar, it appeared non-lactose fermenting (Fig. 2c). It was further subbed to thiosulphate citrate bile salt sucrose agar (TCBS) which demonstrated yellow colonies (Fig. 2c).
