Is a gram stain of a throat swab useful for making a rapid presumptive diagnosis of strep throat?
NO
Why can't you use the gram stain on the pathogens?
Which pathogens can't you use the gram stain on? Some pathogens are gram negative such as Tuberculosis. Others are gram positive. Those you can stain with the gram stain. The differences have to do with the structure of the outer membrane. Not all pathogens are gram negatives. Staph and strep are gram positive. People die from Strep infections.
Why is strep throat called a strep throat?
"Strep" is short for a genus of Gram-positive cocci called Streptococcus. Usually, the most common bacteria causing a throat infection (i.e. "strep" throat) is Streptococcus pyogenes.
What class is strep throat bacteria in?
They are gram positive coccus type of bacteria.
Is Rhodospirillum Rubrum gram positive or gram negative?
R, rubrum is Gram negative. Why? Because after the decolorizing agent Ethonal is added, it removes the purple from the the cell walls.. When the secondary or counterstain, safranin is added, the cell stains pink.
Streptococci bacteria causing strep throat are in what group?
Gram positive cocci - arranged in chains
What is the different reaction of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to Gram's stain testing?
Gram-positive bacteria which take up the stain turn purple, while Gram-negative bacteria which do not take up the stain turn red.
Does strep thoat have a cilia?
Strep throat is a disease not a bacteria. However the bacteria that causes the disease is called strep throat is caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus ( S. pyogenes). Other bacteria such as non–group A beta-hemolytic streptococci and fusobacterium may also cause pharyngitis ("strep throat"). It is a Gram+ bacterium that looks like a string of pearls under the microscope and it has no cilia.
What does a gram reaction of a cell refer to?
the Gram reaction is based on the structure of the bacterial cell wall. In Gram-positive bacteria, the dark purple crystal violet stain is retained by the thick layer of peptidoglycan which forms the outer layer of the cell. In Gram-negative bacteria, the thin peptidoglycan layer in the periplasm does not retain the dark stain, and the pink safranin counter stain stains the peptidoglycan layer. In other word,the gram reaction refers to how the cells reacts to the gram-staining process.
What is determined of the Gram Stain?
A gram stain is a cow
Why do all cells stain purple in the flagella stain but not in the gram stain?
The gram stain uses a decolorizing product so it is possible to differentiate between the gram and the gram cells. Gram positive cells stain purple in color.
Is streptococcus pyogenes gram or gram?
i think is gram + It is gram positive, usually occurring in chains and pairs of gram positive cocci. It is also a beta hemolytic organism, meaning it will completely lyse RBC's in a zone around individual colonies. If you are using a Mannitol Salt agar medium, in this zone then it will be transparent.
