You have been told to obtain a sputum sample and to perform microbiological staining in order to determine the identity of the pathogen causing a patient's illness. You first perform a Gram stain, but upon microscopic analysis you visualize a mixture of pink and purple bacilli. Explain the results you have just observed, and discuss what you may now do in order to identify the pathogen.
