Q

rickettsiae

A

gram negative pleomorphic
giemsa (chlamydiae and borrelia)
these microbes may lack real colour: intracellular parasite

31
Q

mycobacterium

A

gram positive rod
acid fast
these microbes may lack real colour: high lipid content; mycolic acids in cell wall are detected by carbolfuchisin in acid fast stain

Q

leigonella

A

gram negative rod
respiratory
silver stain; these microbnes may lack real colour: primarily intracellular

40
Q

treponema

A

gram negative rod - DONT STAIN WELL bc are too thin to be visualized (these microbes may lack real colour - name them): dark-field microscopy and fluoresecent antibody staining
spiral (borrelia, leptospira)

41
Q

actinomyces

A

gram positive branching

42
Q

what microbes do not stain well?

A

these microbes may lack real colour
treponema - dark field
mycoplasma - no cell wall
mycobacteria - high lipid and mycolic acids that carbofuschin loves in acid fast
legionella - intracellular mostly - silver stain
ricketssiae - intracellular parasite
chlamydiae - intracellular parasite that lacks classic peptidoglycan becase of low muramic acid
