Why is the gram stain technique more valuable than the simple stain technique in the diagnostic laboratory Under what circumstances might the simple stain be preferable to the gram stain technique?

There are two types of stains, the simple stain and the differential stain. A simple stain colors all objects the same while a differential stain is used to spot differences in microorganisms. A gram stain is a differential stain, which is used to tell the difference in gram negative and gram positive bacteria. A simple stain would stain all the organisms the same and this difference would not be noted. You would be able to determine their shape, whether it is a cocci or bacillus (rod), but not the type. I'm not sure why the simple stain would be preferable unless you just wanted a quick answer as to the shape of the bacteria. In some cases, a wet prep can be made of a presumptive gram positive cocci to tell the difference between bacteria or yeast. Otherwise, I would say that the gram stain is the only way to go.
