Hi,
Vibrio, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli may present like gram negative rods. gram positive Eubacteria, Propioni bacteria, Pepto, Streptococcus, etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
So get it done drug sensitivity testing. Then take tablets or injections accordingly. Please consult your physician/gastroentrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
