gram negetive coccus
Bacteria are gram positive or gram negative. Serratia happens to be a gram negative bacteria. They appear pink on a gram stain. Gram positive bacteria stain to a purple color on a gram stain. We can classify and ID bacteria using their gram stain and shape. Some antibiotics only work on gram negative bacteria and some only work on gram positive bacteria. It helps a doctor know which antibiotic to use.
No, acid-fast bacteria do not stain gram-negative when subjected to the gram stain.
It is purple. The bacteria that cause it are gram-positive, which means that under the gram stain they become purple. Your lungs produce the lung stain when they are sick, so pneumonia is purple.

Gram Negative
Protists are often stained using a silver stain, not a Gram stain.
The three types of data obtained from a Gram stain are cell morphology (shape and size of the cells), cell arrangement (how cells are grouped together), and Gram reaction (whether cells are Gram-positive or Gram-negative based on their cell wall composition).
The Gram stain is used for bacteria and not for viruses.
Enterobacter cloacae is a Gram-negative bacterium. It will stain pink or red in a Gram stain procedure.
Bacteria stain either gram-positive or gram-negative based on the presence or absence of a cell wall. Viruses do not pick up a gram stain.
The counter or secondary stain used in the Gram stain procedure is safranin.
Lassa fever is a virus. It does not have a gram stain characteristic.
