In such cases, before thinking of infrequent entities with which to explain the morphological and staining phenomenon, the simplest option should be considered. These are glycogen accumulations, more frequent in intermediate cells and in the second half of the cycle.
Generally, large numbers of lactobacilli are found around such clusters waiting for "lunch time" (cytolysis).
