It is so surprising to people when they look at a slide of mixed bacteria and see that they are rather translucent and one looks like another. If stained, the difference can help ID the bacteria. They can be IDed by shape but the two together narrows down the name of "bad guy". Knowing what you are dealing with, tells you what antibiotic to use.

Diff between progressive staining and regressive staining?

REGRESSIVE STAINING. In a regressive stain, the tissue is first over stained and then partially decolorized. Differentiation is usually controlled visually by examination with a microscope. When regressive staining is employed, a sharper degree of differentiation is obtained than with progressive staining .PROGRESSIVE STAINING. In progressive staining, once the dye is taken up by the tissue it is not removed. Differentiation in progressive staining relies solely on the selective affinity of dyes for different tissue elements. The tissue is left in the dye solution only until it retains the desired amount of coloration.
