What are four possible results of a gram stain?
The four possible results after Gram staining are Gram positive, Gram negative, Gram variable and Gram in-determinant.
Why gram staining is classified as differential staining?
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
Which step is most crucial or most likely to cause poor results in the gram stain?
Gram staining is a type of differential staining in which two types of bacteria are differentiated on the basis of their cell wall either gram positive or gram negative although all the steps in gram staining are crucial, the most important step the most crucial step in the performance of the Gram staining procedure is the decolorization step which is the Acid-Alcohol (3% HCl and 95% Ethanol) and must be timed correctly; the crystal violet stain will be removed from both Gram-positive and negative cells if the decolorizing agent is left on too long (a matter of seconds).

Why is gram staining important?
It tells the microbiologist/clinician facts about the cell wall construction of the bacterium. This then indicates which antibiotics to prescribe if you are trying to get rid of a bacterial infection.
What is staining for candida albicans?
gram positive
Why is safrinin used in gram staining?
as a couterstain
What are the colony characteristics and Gram staining of bacillus circulans?
Gram Positive Rods
Is gram staining special staining?
yes it is a special staining like other types....its importance is that one can identify the type of bacteria........
What bacterial staining technique is it when a basic dye is utilized to stain bacterial cells?
A basic dye used in gram staining is crystal violet.
Does giardia show up on gram stain?
no, it's eukaryotic. Gram staining is for bacteria.
