      Cell cycle was evaluated by Gram stain and modified fluorescence in bacteria isolated from anal and urethral samples with observation diplococcus smear-negative or fluorescent orange diplococcus and negative culture for Neisseria gonorrhoeae in patients attending Dr. Archimedes Fuentes Serrano’s STI-AIDS ambulatory practice  in Cumana, Venezuela, with the aim of showing that the isolated bacteria, Gram characteristics and fluorescence morfotintoriales like diplococci, are associated with cell cycle. Microscopic study was made of the cell cycle from synchronous cultures at time intervals of 5 minutes for 2 hours, taking aliquots, fixing in ethanol, and extended by coloring with Gram and fluorescence.

       

      Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter koseri, Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. saprophyticus, b-hemolytic Streptococcus group A no-no B and Enterococcus faecalis were identified. Gram-positive cocci were the ones that expressed characteristics of diplococcus morfotintorial negative rods. b-hemolytic Streptococcus of 0-15 min, E. 60-80 min f aecalis, S. saprophyticus at 10 and 35, S. epidermidis to 0,15, 20, 35, 40, 70, 90 and 95 min. Staphylococcus fluorescence , visualized as diplococcus fluorescent orange, green and yellow were observed. Color varies cyclically, starting as yellow, through orange and then green. S. saprophyticus from 40-120 min was even observed fluorescent yellow. S. epidermidis even at 50, 60 and 65 min were visualized as fluorescent orange diplococcus. In conclusion, the gram-positive cocci show gram-negative phase and diplococcus fluorescent orange on their cell cycle.
