What else can I help you with?
You are positive for gram negative bacilli?
Gram-negative bacilli are a diverse group of bacteria that have a complex cell wall structure making them stain pink/red on a Gram stain. They include common pathogens like Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Identification of the specific type of gram-negative bacilli is important for appropriate treatment.
Is herpes simplex gram positive or gram negative?
It is a pleomorphic Gram negative bacilli.
Are gram negative enteric bacilli fastidious heterotrophs?
Yes, some gram-negative enteric bacilli can be considered fastidious heterotrophs. This means they have complex nutritional requirements and may require specific growth factors or conditions to thrive. Examples of fastidious enteric bacilli include some strains of Salmonella and Shigella.
What are the two main ways to categorize bacteria?
Bacteria can be categorized based on their shape (cocci, bacilli, spirilla) and their staining characteristics (gram-positive or gram-negative). These classifications help in identifying and studying different bacterial species.
What are bacilli bacteria?
bacteria Indeed they are bacteria! The Gram stain is a common, inexpensive, and very useful test that Medical Technologists (laboratory workers in hospitals) do to help doctors diagnose and treat bacterial infections. The bacilli part simply means the shape of the bacteria. A bacillus is a rod-shaped bacteria - think of a tiny sausage! The other common shape is a "coccus" or "cocci" (cocci and bacilli mean there is more than one) which is a sphere - like a tiny grape. I won't go into the details of the test, but basically the specimen (whatever body fluid was submitted to the lab) is stained in a special way that typically shows one of two different results: Gram negative or Gram positive. Why does Gram positive or negative matter? First, it helps with deciding WHAT the bacteria is and second, it helps determine WHAT ANTIBIOTIC can be used to treat an infection with it. Gram positive bacteria have a very thick outer cell layer made of peptidoglycan which stains dark purple. Gram negative bacteria have different layers on the outside of their cells and the peptidoglycan layers are much thinner - so they stain pink. So a Gram positive bacillus is sausage/rod shaped that stains dark purple with a Gram stain test. Examples are: Clostridium, Bacillus, and Listeria, but there are MANY more!
What shape is Bacilli?
Bacilli are usually in rod shaped form. They can consist of gram negative and gram positive bacteria.
What is the Normal result of vaginal gram stain?
many gram positive bacilli

How gram positive bacilli defer from gram negative bacilli in gram stain?
First gentian violet or crystal violet solutn is applied,they bcome purple now iodine is added and acetone or ethyl alcohol is applied gram -ve bacteria lose their color while gram positive bacteria don't
Give the example for gram positivegram negative bacteria?
Typical gram-positive bacteria are staphylococci; typical gram-negative bacteria are bacilli.
Does penicillin cure all infections and bacteria?
Penicillin is NOT effective against gram positive and negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. it is not effective against rest of the organisms.
What is gram variable bacilli?
Gram-variable bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria that do not consistently take up Gram stain, appearing either Gram-positive or Gram-negative under a microscope. This variability can result from factors such as the age of the culture, the composition of the cell wall, or the presence of certain conditions during staining. Gram-variable bacilli can include various species, some of which are pathogenic and associated with human diseases. Examples include certain strains of Corynebacterium and Mycobacterium.
Is herpes simplex gram positive or gram negative?
It is a pleomorphic Gram negative bacilli.
How do you get gram positive bacilli?
You do not " get " them, but gram positive bacteria are gram positive because their cell wall is of sufficient thickness and properly constructed to hold the Gram stain. They have one thick wall of peptidoglycan that holds the stain against being washed away. Gram negative bacteria have two thinner walls which allow the stain to be washed away, basically.
What do you treat gram positive bacilli with?
Gram-positive bacilli are typically treated with antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, or vancomycin, depending on the specific species and resistance patterns. Treatment may require susceptibility testing for more targeted therapy. In certain cases, a combination of antibiotics may be required for effective treatment.
Corynebacterium is a spore forming gram positive cocci?
Corynebacterium is a non spore forming gram positive cocci
Are gram negative enteric bacilli fastidious heterotrophs?
Yes, some gram-negative enteric bacilli can be considered fastidious heterotrophs. This means they have complex nutritional requirements and may require specific growth factors or conditions to thrive. Examples of fastidious enteric bacilli include some strains of Salmonella and Shigella.
