I have only seen Gram-positive in the Slim Jim. Let me know if you find
negative and I will give it another try.

That doesn't demonstrate both Gram-positives and negatives, does it?

Looking for source for GRAM Stain control slides or a known positive
tissue to make control block. Vendor sources seem to be quite pricey.
Thanks in advance.
