Chemists have developed a fluorescent probe, BacGo that can detect Gram-positive bacteria precisely and promptly. The research team used bacterial sludge from wastewater for the demonstration ...

To determine the effectiveness of Gram staining of tracheal aspirates for predicting causative microorganisms and guiding appropriate initial antibiotic therapy to treat ventilator-associated ...

Bacterial species, and even specific strains can be differentiated using a number of molecular techniques such as PCR, quantitative PCR, genome sequencing and mass spectrometry. But even without ...

Compared with other urine analysis methods, urine Gram stain has a moderate predictive value for detecting gram-negative bacteria in urine culture but does not significantly improve urinary tract ...

Recently we have done two differential stains, the Gram stain and the Acid Fast stain. Both stains differentiate between bacteria chemically. The two staining techniques of Lab 4 differentiate by ...

Gram-negative meningitis is a form of meningitis. The term gram-negative refers to a way of differentiating bacteria. This type of bacteria is typically resistant to drugs and most available ...
