A gram stain cannot detect chlamydia. A gram stain in men that finds gram negative diplococci is considered diagnostic for gonorrhea, but it can't be used in females, and it can't prove chlamydia. A gram stain in men can be used to rule out gonorrhea and possibly diagnose "non-gonococcal urethritis" if a male has symptoms. However, although it may seem that NGU is synonymous with chlamydia, there are other possible causes.
Gram- negative bacteria turns red to pink after the gram stain is performed.
gram staining is a biochemical method of identifying bacteria in a more specific way.Thus it is important to differentiate gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
No, Gram stain and Ziehl-Neelsen stain are two different types of staining methods used in microbiology. Gram stain is used to differentiate bacteria based on their cell wall composition (Gram-positive and Gram-negative), while Ziehl-Neelsen stain is used to detect acid-fast bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The Gram stain technique is used to differentiate bacteria into two groups based on their cell wall composition (Gram-positive and Gram-negative), while the acid-fast stain technique is used to detect bacteria that have a waxy cell wall, such as Mycobacterium species.
Chlamydia trachomatis is coccoid and gram negative.
No, acid-fast bacteria do not stain gram-negative when subjected to the gram stain.

Protists are often stained using a silver stain, not a Gram stain.
The Gram stain is used for bacteria and not for viruses.
No, it's only detected by a chlamydia test.
To get tested for chlamydia, you must ask specifically for that test. Routine urinalysis or culture does not detect chlamydia.Chlamydia testing requires a specific test. Urine testing done for other purposes will not detect chlamydia.
