What shape does mycobacterium smegmatis have?
Mycobacterium Smegmatis is a bacilli bacteria. It is rod shaped.
What is the shape of bacterial pneumonia?
Has a lancet shape on gram stain. From the cocci family,it is also spherical .
What ia the Streptomyces sp gram stain and shape?
Gram Positive Rods (Filamentous is the exact term for the type of rod)
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.
What are examples of acid-fast organisms?
Two acid-fast bacteria that are pathogenic are:1. Mycobacterium tuberculosis2. Mycobacterium avium- Microbioman

What is fluorochrome staining technique for mycobacterium?
A flourochrome stain is an ultraviolet reactive dye that shines when exposed to UV. By using this stain, acid-fast bacilli (such as mycobacterium) can be easily seen. Flourochrome is used because standard techniques such as Gram stains can result in inconclusive results.
What shape does mycobacterium smegmatis have?
Mycobacterium Smegmatis is a bacilli bacteria. It is rod shaped.
What is the shape of bacterial pneumonia?
Has a lancet shape on gram stain. From the cocci family,it is also spherical .
What does gram negative on a serratia marcescens gram stain mean?
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.
What ia the Streptomyces sp gram stain and shape?
Gram Positive Rods (Filamentous is the exact term for the type of rod)
What do Mycoplasma sp and Mycobacteria sp.have in common?
Both stain poorly with the Gram stain.However Mycoplasma has no cell wall while Mycobacterium has a thick cell wall of mycolic acids.
What shape is pneumonia?
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.
What is determined of the Gram Stain?
A gram stain is a cow
