Is polio gram positive or gram negative?
Polio virus is neither gram positive nor gram negative because it is a non-bacterial virus. Gram staining is a technique used to classify bacterial species based on their cell wall composition, so it does not apply to viruses like polio.
What is the gram stain for measles virus?
Measles virus is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus and does not have a cell wall structure that can be stained with the Gram stain. Instead, measles virus particles can be visualized using specialized staining techniques such as immunofluorescence or electron microscopy.
What is gram stain of rotavirus?
Rotavirus is a non-enveloped virus that does not stain well with the traditional Gram stain method. Instead, it is typically visualized using specialized staining techniques like electron microscopy or immunofluorescence staining.
Is varicella zoster virus gram negative of gram positive?
Gram-positive and gram-negative refer to the Gram stain used to prepare slides of bacteria for viewing under a light microscope. Viruses are too small to see under a light microscope and have to be prepared differently for viewing under an electron microscope. So the answer to your question is neither
What happens if you use gram stain on a virus?
Most likely nothing. The gram stain will only stain the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria. Most viruses have a protein coat called a capsid. The capsid will not take up either the crystal violet or the safranin of a Gram stain.
Is polio gram positive or gram negative?
Polio virus is neither gram positive nor gram negative because it is a non-bacterial virus. Gram staining is a technique used to classify bacterial species based on their cell wall composition, so it does not apply to viruses like polio.
What gram stain is lassa fever?
Lassa fever is a virus. It does not have a gram stain characteristic.
What is the gram stain for measles virus?
Measles virus is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus and does not have a cell wall structure that can be stained with the Gram stain. Instead, measles virus particles can be visualized using specialized staining techniques such as immunofluorescence or electron microscopy.
What is a gram stain for hpv?
HPV is a virus. Viruses aren't gram stained.
Is HIV gram stain positive or negative?
The answer to whether HIV gram-stain positive or negative is that HIV gram-stain is negative. They retain the light red or pink color after the stain.
What is the gram stain for the west nile virus?
There is no Gram stain for the rabies virus - it does not pick up either the stain or the counter-stain and has no official Gram stain status like bacteria do. When scientists are looking at slides of brains to see if an animal was infected with rabies, they use a special immunofluorescent stain made of antibodies against the rabies virus linked to either a vividly colored pigment or a fluorescent pigment. If the rabies virus is present, the antibodies in the stain adhere to the viral particles and then the pigment becomes fixed to the tissue as well, allowing the pathologist to "see" the virus (actually just that the virus is present and approximately where it is at - the virus is too small to see with a standard light microscope).
Which microorganism causes polio?
Polio is caused by a virus, the poliovirus. It belongs to the genus Enterovirus, which is a group of RNA viruses.
What is gram stain of rotavirus?
Rotavirus is a non-enveloped virus that does not stain well with the traditional Gram stain method. Instead, it is typically visualized using specialized staining techniques like electron microscopy or immunofluorescence staining.
What is the gram stain for rubella virus?
Viruses cannot pick up gram staining because it does not have the cell wall of a bacteria.
Can cold water cause polio?
No, it takes the polio virus to cause polio. The polio virus can be defeated by having a polio vaccination.
What is causative agent of polio?
Poliomyletis virus
What virus causes polio?
yes polio is caused by a virus
