Both Streptococcus pneumoniae and Cryptococcus neoformans are causes of meningitis, and both are diagnosed by microscopic observation.  How are they distinguished in the microscope?

These organisms have different cellular arrangements; Streptococcus form chains, whereas Cryptococcus forms irregular clusters of cells. C. Cryptococcus is a fungus whereas Streptococcus is a bacterium; cells will be dramatically different in complexity and size. D. Streptococcus has a prominent capsule that can be observed by negative staining of the sample.
