What is Gram Stain Test
The Gram stain test is a laboratory technique used to differentiate bacteria into two groups based on their cell wall properties. It is performed on a sample of bacterial culture that has been heat-fixed to a slide. The slide is then flooded with crystal violet stain, followed by iodine solution, alcohol, and then counterstained with safranin. Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet stain, appearing purple under a microscope, while Gram-negative bacteria lose the stain and appear red or pink.
