A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria. This ...

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 ...

Two years ago, a group of infants died at the university hospital and it was found to be Gram-negative bacteria that caused their death. The Gram-negative bacteria turn into pink color and ...

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 ...

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 ...
