Which of the following is a Gram Negative Cocci?

  1. Strep. pneumoniae

  2. Neisseria spp.

  3. Enterococcus species

  4. C. difficile

The correct answer is: Neisseria spp.

Neisseria spp. is the correct answer because it consists of Gram-negative cocci. Gram-negative cocci are relatively less common compared to Gram-positive cocci, making Neisseria spp. a distinctive choice in this context. Strep. pneumoniae (choice A) is a Gram-positive cocci, while Enterococcus species (choice C) and C. difficile (choice D) are Gram-positive bacilli and Gram-positive rods, respectively, and not Gram-negative cocci.
