Question

Station B: An elderly patient arrived with chills, a fever, abnormal breathing sounds and a frequent cough that brings up bloody sputum. This sample was isolated from a sample of the sputum. Additional lab tests show that the bacterial sample shows alpha-hemolysis. 1. What is this pathogen? How do you know this based on the microscope & information above? 2. What are possible treatment strategies for the patient?
