21
Q

divides most clinically significant bacteria into two main groups, is the first step in bacterial identification

A

Gram stain

22
Q

Bacteria stained purple are

23
Q

Their call walls have thick petidoglycan and teichoic acid

24
Q

Bacteria stained pink are

25
Q

Their cell walls have thin peptidoglycan and lipoplysaccharides with no teichoic acid

26
Q

The purple crystal violet stain is trapped by the layer of peptidoglycan which forms the outer layer of the cell.

A

Gram positive bacteria

27
Q

The outer membrane of lipopolysaccharides prevents the stain from reaching the peptidoglycan layer

A

Gram negative bacteria
