Gram Staining
Gram staining is a common technique in the contemporary microbial field. It involves differentiating bacterial groups based on the cell wall composition (Peck & Badrick, 2017). The technique was established by Hans Gram in 1884 due to modifications in anatomical pathology (Peck & Badrick, 2017). The paper addresses gram staining, its significance, procedures, and its impact on microbiology.
Significance of Gram Staining
Gram staining is significant since it detects the availability of different microorganisms for medical purposes. It is applied to determine bacteria from suspected samples during infection analysis (Boyanova, 2018). Moreover, it reveals quick results of infection microorganisms without intense analysis. Gram staining is significant in diagnostic and molecular methods for timely therapeutic interventions (Boyanova, 2018). Therefore, it should be encouraged for microbial research.
Gram Staining Procedure
Gram staining is procedurally conducted to differentiate the bacterial components. The first step is applying crystal violet to the cell. Secondly, the lab personnel applies iodine as a setting ag...
