GRAM STAIN
In the process of making diagnosis of infectious diseases, most physicians leave bacteriology to the lab technicians. However, there are certain occasions when bacteriological tests must be done by physicians themselves. The Gram stain represents one of such tests. Properly Gram-stained preparations can quickly give you considerable information that can be applied immediately to patient care. The Gram stain is particularly useful in the presumptive diagnosis of bacterial meningitis, bacterial pneumonia, bacteriuria, gonorrhea, and pyogenic infections of the brain, lung, abdomen, pelvis and wounds. In this program, you may explore the following aspects of the Gram stain and view examples of gram stained bacteria that are medically important.
