Capsules may be revealed by methods such as Maneval's method. This method utilizes negative staining, where the background is stained revealing an unstained structure: the bacterial capsule.
Capsules are made of polysaccharides and/or polypeptides that have no net charge. Most dyes used do have a net charge. Therefore, capsules cannot bind to charged dyes and do not stain as a result. Capsules may be revealed by methods such as Maneval's method. This method utilizes negative staining, where the background is stained revealing an unstained structure of interest: the bacterial capsule.
Bacterial capsules are composed of high-molecular-weight polysaccharides and/or polypeptides, and are associated with virulence and biofilm formation. Unfortunately, capsules do not stain well with crystal violet, methylene blue, or other simple stains. This unit describes two methods of capsule staining. The first is a wet-mount method using India ink; the capsule is visualized as a refractile zone surrounding a cell. The second is a direct-staining dry-mount method that precipitates copper sulfate and leaves the capsule as a pale blue zone. Both methods are easily performed within approximately 5 min.
Carbohydrate demonstration methods. Demonstrates Staining mechanisms and technical comments.
There are a few staining methods that can be used. Common are methylene blue, ethidium bromide, fast blast, sybr safe.

yes it is a special staining like other types....its importance is that one can identify the type of bacteria........

H & E staining is good as a primary staining method alone. The selection of a relevant staining method depends on the type of sample you are planning to visualize. Re post with said detail to help you pick the right stain.
types of communication methods?
Bacteria .
Capsules used to deliver medicines are of two types: gelatin and cellulose. Gelatin is the most common but it is made of animal byproducts. Cellulose is not and it is considered to vegetarian.
yup..two types of differential staining.. 1 - staining the whole cell to differentiate from another 2 - structural stainging of an individual cell
Differential staining is the procedure that are used to distinguish organism based on their staining properties. Use of gram stain divide bacteria into two classes - gram positive which retain crystal violet stain purple colour, gram negative which lose their crystal violet and give pink colour. By this method we can differentiate two different types of bacteria having different cell wall composition that is the reason gram staining used widely as differential staining
