What is the different staining technique in virology?
1- What_is_the_different_staining_technique_in_virology2- What are the diffrent stain in micro for virus ?
Why is the technique called negative staining?
Because the cell wall repels the binding of the negative stain therefore the cells do not stain. Because of this the background is stain with the dye used and the bacteria remain colorless. Basically your staining the background, that is, you are not directly staining the cells.
Describe the microscopic appearance of encapsulated streptococcus if stained with safranin?
Safranin (red) is used in gram staining and endospore staining as the secondary stain. Nigrosin is used in negative staining, staining only the background and not the bacteria. Therefore, the bacteria within the capsule would stain red from the safranin. (Like in endospore staining and negative gram staining, safranin would stain the bacteria red.) Nigrosin would stain the background of the organism just as it would in negative staining. Bacteria (within capsul): stained safranin red Capsule (outer layer of bacteria): clear Background of organism: stained dark with Nigrosin
Why gram staining is classified as differential staining?
Differential staining is the procedure that are used to distinguish organism based on their staining properties. Use of gram stain divide bacteria into two classes - gram positive which retain crystal violet stain purple colour, gram negative which lose their crystal violet and give pink colour. By this method we can differentiate two different types of bacteria having different cell wall composition that is the reason gram staining used widely as differential staining
What are gram negative diplocci?
Gram negative diplocci is the name given to describe the structure and shape of the bacteria, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (the infective organism of the STD gonorrhea) as it is seen on the microscope using a technique call gram staining.

What is the best use of negative staining?
size and shape
Why can treponema denticola be seen with negative staining?
Because it is a Gram-negative bacterium and can be stained with Gram-negative stain.
What types of organisms are subjected to Negative Staining Technique?
Bacteria .

What microbes are negative?
Those which show pink colour in gram staining are gram negative bacterialike E.coli

What is the definition of negative staining?
negative staining is when the micro-organism on slide is not stained.. instead the rest of the material on the slide gets stained and the organism stands out prominently unstained.. this occurs because that organism has a thick capsule around it which is non-stainable with that stain.. example is pneumococci staining with India ink.

What type of bacteria appears red after staining with a secondary dye?
Gram Negative
Finctions of alcohol in gram staining?
alcohol is organic solvent , it dissolves lipid in cell wall of Gram negative bacteria . this allows out flow of C.V. and counter staining by safranine which results in red color of Gram negative bacteria .
What are gram negative diplocci?
Gram negative diplocci is the name given to describe the structure and shape of the bacteria, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (the infective organism of the STD gonorrhea) as it is seen on the microscope using a technique call gram staining.
