How does Gramstaining differentiate
between Gram positive and Gram
negative bacteria?
• Gram negative bacteria turns blue, as the crystal violet is trapped by the
thick peptidoglycan cell wall, but is washed out of the thin Gram-positive
cell wall, which is permeable to the red safranin added in the last step
• Gram positive bacteria turns blue, as the crystal violet is trapped by the
thick peptidoglycan cell wall, but is washed out of the thin Gram-negative
cell wall, which is permeable to the red safranin added in the last step
• Gram positive bacteria is colorized in the Gram stain, but Gram negative
bacteria is not colorized
• Gram negative bacteria cannot be identified by the Gram stain, because it
has a waxy, impervious cell wall

Why must Mycobacteriumbe
detected with an acid fast stain, and
not a simple stain or a Gram stain?
• Mycobacterium can be detected with a Gram stain using an augmented
procedure
• Mycobacterium does not have a peptidoglycan cell wall, so it will not bind
crystal violet or safranin
• Mycobacterium has high levels of mycolic acids in the cell wall, making it
impervious to most staining techniques
• Mycobacterium is a sporulating bacteria that can only be detected with an
endospore stain
