They will culture it, and in the lab they will look under this thing called a microscope to see if it is indeed bacteria, if it is bacteria, they will be able to tell if it is Gram-positive bacteria, or gram negative. Staphylococcus is gram-positive , however ,there are more than one species of staph. You cannot tell just by looking at it. Go to the doctor if you are concerned.
