Referring to a laboratory test known as Gram stain that can help detect Bacillus anthracis, Fauci said : " It is not easy to miss these horrible looking gram positive rods that look like boxcars.
42.
The tests included finding that the bacterium took up a chemical known as the Gram stain, as well as various DNA procedures, which Pillai said were kept confidential to maintain the integrity of the tests.
43.
Once the Gram stain results become available, and the broad type of bacterial cause is known, it may be possible to change the antibiotics to those likely to deal with the presumed group of pathogens.
44.
If a vial is positive, a microbiologist will perform a Gram stain on the blood for a rapid, general identification of the bacteria, which the microbiologist will report to the attending physician of the bacteremic patient.
45.
Dry conditions can allow infected plants to recover and produce unaffected, fruit-producing branches . " Erwinia papayae " is a Gram-negative, straight rod bacterium with peritrichous flagella, so diagnosis can be made using a Gram stain.
46.
Initial work identifying the two common bacterial causes, " Streptococcus pneumoniae " and " Klebsiella pneumoniae ", was performed by Carl Friedl�nder and Gram stain, a fundamental laboratory test still used today to identify and categorize bacteria.
47.
A . They are referring to how the germs react to one of the basic tests in bacteriology, the Gram stain or Gram's stain, which distinguishes between two major classes of bacteria by how they take up certain dyes.
48.
Ehrlich had been awarded a 1908 Nobel Prize for his work on immunology, and pioneered the use of stains to detect and identify bacteria, with his work being the basis of the Gram stain and the Ziehl Neelsen stain.
49.
A physical examination and medical history are generally not enough to distinguish between infectious and non-infectious bursitis; aspiration of the bursal fluid is often required for this, along with a cell culture and Gram stain of the aspirated fluid.
50.
Gram-positive bacteria have a thick proteoglycan layer and take up violet Gram stain ( whereas Gram-negative bacteria have a thinner proteoglycan layer which is surrounded by a layer of immune response-inducing lipopolysaccharide, and do not take up Gram stain ).
