Over the next couple days, however the abscess became more swollen and painful. The student decided to visit the health centet he told the doctor it looked like a spider bite but didn't recall being bitten. The doctor took a swab of the lesion and prescribed an antibiotic cream as it looked infected. The swab was sent to the lab for testing within a few days of treatment, the student lesion was healed. list appearance on plate media and gram stain result and list test results And ID based on the dichotomousarrow_forwardGram positive case on the first day back to class at the local university, a student noticed a small abscess on his right elbow but didn't think much about it.
