A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria. This ...
There are many ways of classifying bacteria. One method is based on the cell membrane. In 1884, a bacteriologist named Christian Gram created a test that could determine if a bacterium had a thick, ...
Bacterial species, and even specific strains can be differentiated using a number of molecular techniques such as PCR, quantitative PCR, genome sequencing and mass spectrometry. But even without ...
To determine the effectiveness of Gram staining of tracheal aspirates for predicting causative microorganisms and guiding appropriate initial antibiotic therapy to treat ventilator-associated ...
Recently we have done two differential stains, the Gram stain and the Acid Fast stain. Both stains differentiate between bacteria chemically. The two staining techniques of Lab 4 differentiate by ...
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are making it increasingly difficult to combat many infections. And types of bacteria classified as “Gram-negative” — which refers to the Gram staining method used to ...
Retrospective analysis of medical and microbiological records of patients with suspected diagnosis of endophthalmitis. The following information was assessed: number of presumed and culture-positive ...
