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 ...
