Hello and welcome to HCM,
The presence of gram positive cocci in pairs and chains suggests presence of bacterial infection, however, the source of material is not mentioned.
The site and source of material which is examined is not mentioned so it is not possible to comment on the microbiolocal report.
A constant body weight suggests an improvement and recovery.
Thanks and take care
