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.


Can Gram-positive organism appear as Gram-negative?

Staphylococcus are Gram positive because, in Gram's test, the decolorizing agent (ETOH) cannot penetrate the thick cell walls, and the stain remains behind: hence Gram positive. I am not aware of a gram negative staph species and, considering the degree of mutation that would be needed to form such a strain, I do not believe that it's possible. I should add that a not-so-brief scan of the net showed me no Gram negative staph mentioned anywhere. So -- for now -- no. That said, let's see what the future holds.
