Question

Gram staining is the most common initial test of unknown identification, explain in your own words the process of gram staining

Definition Definition Technique that uses crystal violet or methylene blue as primary staining colors to distinguish gram-positive from gram-negative organisms. Under a microscope, the gram-positive organisms appear purple-brown, retaining the primary color. Gram-negative organisms appear pink or red as they do not acquire the color of the primary stain.
