I wiped a coupe of my wife's kitchen sponges on a glass microscope slide, performed a Gram stain on it, put it under my microscope, and took this picture. Here can be seen an abundance of cocci-type bacteria. Most of these are Gram positive (stained purple), while a few are Gram negative (stained pink).
