What is the fluorochrome staining technique for mycobacterium?
a fluorescent dye used to stain the cell walls of fungi and bacteria. The organisms then fluoresce when exposed to UV light rays. It is commonly used to visualize acid-fast bacilli (mycobacteria) in specimens. An example is acridine orange staincomsats Pharmacy (sandboy_2008@yahoo.com)
Acid fast sputum?
Acid-fast sputum refers to a sample of sputum that is stained using a special acid-fast stain to detect acid-fast bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This staining technique helps in diagnosing diseases like tuberculosis by identifying the presence of these specific bacteria in the sputum sample.
What is the arrangement of bacilli in which chains are found?
Bacilli arranged in chains are known as streptobacilli. These chains can vary in length and are commonly seen in certain bacteria like Bacillus anthracis and Streptobacillus moniliformis.
Could an acid fast organism be coccobacillus shaped?
Yes an Acid fast organism could be coccobacillus shaped, eg. Mycobacterium avium, M. gordonae, M. montefiorense, Rhodococcus and even brucella species ( in modified cold acid fast staining) etc.
When pyruvic acid is changed in to lactic acid fermentation?
During lactic acid fermentation, pyruvic acid is reduced by NADH to form lactic acid. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and helps regenerate NAD+ to continue glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Lactic acid fermentation is commonly seen in muscle cells during intense exercise when oxygen availability is limited.
How do you grade acid fast bacilli in pus samples?
Acid-fast bacilli in pus samples are typically graded based on the number of bacilli seen under a microscope using the Ziehl-Neelsen or Auramine-rhodamine stain. The grading scale commonly used ranges from 1+ to 4+, with 1+ indicating rare bacilli and 4+ indicating numerous bacilli per high-power field. This grading helps to semi-quantitatively assess the bacterial load and guide treatment decisions for conditions like tuberculosis.

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.
Maximum lepra bacilli seen in which type of leprosy?
lepromatous leprosy
Acid fast sputum?
Acid-fast sputum refers to a sample of sputum that is stained using a special acid-fast stain to detect acid-fast bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This staining technique helps in diagnosing diseases like tuberculosis by identifying the presence of these specific bacteria in the sputum sample.
Is mycobacterium phlei gram positive or negative?
Although mycoplasma lack a cell wall and therefore test gram negative, they are considered to be descendents of 'nonsporulating and endospore forming gram-positive bacteria' (Madigan et al., 2009), such as Lactobacilli, Bacilli and Streptococci, (Dandekar et al., 2002), which have lost their cell wall. Mycoplasmas are therfore classed as gram- positive bacteria. This is supported by ribosomal RNA and DNA analysis.
What is the arrangement of bacilli in which chains are found?
Bacilli arranged in chains are known as streptobacilli. These chains can vary in length and are commonly seen in certain bacteria like Bacillus anthracis and Streptobacillus moniliformis.
Could an acid fast organism be coccobacillus shaped?
Yes an Acid fast organism could be coccobacillus shaped, eg. Mycobacterium avium, M. gordonae, M. montefiorense, Rhodococcus and even brucella species ( in modified cold acid fast staining) etc.
Is iodic acid is strong acid?
Iodic acid (HIO3) is a strong acid, as it ionizes completely in water to produce H+ ions. This dissociation process makes iodic acid a strong electrolyte, meaning it readily conducts electricity in solution.
When looking at a chemical formula for an acid what should be seen to know that it is an acid?
it starts with an H
What is the diagnosis for leprosy?
The diagnosis for leprosy is to take a sample of the lesions on the skin and check to see if Mycobacterium leprae (gram+ bacilli) will grow. However, the most common one is by clinical (what is seen) methods.
What causes the face of a marble statue no longer be seen?
acid rain
