The negative staining techniques uses a dye solution in which the chromogen is acidic and carries a negative charge. (An acidic chromogen gives up a hydrogen ion, which leaves it with a negative charge.) The negative charge on the bacterial surface repels the negatively charged chromogen, so the the cell remains unstained against a colored background.

Is counterstain a negative stain?
No, counterstain is not a negative stain. A counterstain is a secondary stain used in microscopy to color structures that were not stained by the primary stain, usually to provide contrast. Negative staining involves staining the background instead of the cells or structures of interest.

What does a negative result for a spore stain indicate about the organism?
A negative result for a spore stain indicates that the organism does not form endospores. Endospore formation is a survival mechanism for some bacteria to withstand harsh environments, so a negative result suggests that the organism may be more susceptible to environmental stressors.
Is counterstain a negative stain?
No, counterstain is not a negative stain. A counterstain is a secondary stain used in microscopy to color structures that were not stained by the primary stain, usually to provide contrast. Negative staining involves staining the background instead of the cells or structures of interest.
