What is the purpose of covering the smear with bibulous paper when performing the endospore stain?
This paper will aid in keeping the stain over the bacterial smear.
Give the reason for passing bacterial smear through the flame before staining?
It dries the smear and fixes the cells to the slide
Why does the physician take a Pap smear?
Such swab tests are used to check for gonorrhea and chlamydia, or bacterial vaginitis, which is a bacterial infection resulting in inflammation of the vagina.
Is a bacterial infection test the same as a chlamydia test?

The bacterial smear will wash away during the staining procedure. This is avoided by heat fixation, during which the bacterial proteins are coagulated and fixed to the glass surface.
Why dense smear not a good smear preparation?
A dense smear will make it difficult to evaluate cells, as they may be all "piled up" and hard to evaluate.
