A Gram stain test looks for bacteria in areas where an infection is thought to have occurred, including the throat, lungs, genitalia, and skin wounds. Gram stains can also be used to examine the presence of germs in bodily fluids like blood or urine.
Gram-positive and Gram-negative infections are the two primary subtypes of bacteria. Based on how the bacteria respond to the Gram stain, the several types are identified. The hue of a Gram stain is purple. The bacteria in a sample will either stay purple or change pink or red when the stain and bacteria interact. The bacteria are Gram-positive if they continue to be purple. The bacteria are Gram-negative if they turn pink or crimson. Different forms of illnesses are brought on by the two categories:
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), strep infections, and toxic shock are all examples of gram-positive infections.
- Salmonella, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and gonorrhoea are examples of gram-negative infections.
Your doctor can determine the sort of illness you have and the best drugs to use to treat it by knowing whether the bacteria are Gram-positive or Gram-negative.
