NO, s. epidermidis does not show up positive in an acid fast stain. The acid fast stain is a differential stain that differentiates cells with mycolic acids in their cells walls with those who do not. cells with mycolic acid are therefore acid fast. s epidermidis does not contain this waxy substance in their cell wall so it doesnt fall into this category.
No, Staphylococcus aureus is not acid-fast because in an acid-fast stain, this bacteria stain blue.
Because it is not from the Mycobacterium genus it is negative for acid-fast staining. There is not mycolic acid present in the cell wall of any other group aside from mycobacterium.
NO.streptococcus pyogenes is gram positive cocci bacteria.
NO
yes
Mycobacterium Smegmatis is a bacilli bacteria. It is rod shaped.
Whar are the gram reaction of mycobacterium?Type your answer here...
There is no listing for bycobacteria. Mycobacterium are groups of bacteria that are responsible for conditions such as leprosy and tuberculosis. Mycobacterium are generally considered gram positive strains of bacteria.
mycobacterium
Mycobacterium avium is gram-positive and is the shape of bassilous. What I don't understand is why people can't just look this up.... :-/
Mycobacterium smegmatis is a non pathogenic organism so it is used in labs to study about Mycobacterium tuberculosis .
The cell size of Mycobacterium smegmatis ranges from 3-5 micrometers.
No.
Mycobacterium Smegmatis is a bacilli bacteria. It is rod shaped.
M.smegmatis is strictly a non-spore former. It neither forms spores nor capsules.
All Mycobacteria are non-flagellated. Originally thought to be non-motile, it has recently been discovered M. smegmatis and other species of Mycobacteria move using a sliding mechanism in which the organism flattens and retracts to move.

Gram-positive bacterium, live on dead and decaying matter
The reason we use IS6110 for the identification of TB using procedures such as RFLP and Spoligotyping for several years now is because this is a genetic insertion sequence (IS) or element that is found exclusively within the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Some researchers have found IS6110-like elements in some other mycobacteria such as M. smegmatis but because smegmatis do not cause TB, its clinical importance is lesser. This info was taken from "IS6110 is found in non-M. tuberculosis complex species" by Coros A, DeConno E, and Derbyshire KM, from the Wadsworth Center, NY, NY, (AMS March 7, 2008)
