Gram stain

nounɡram
mass nounMedicine
  • A staining technique for the preliminary identification of bacteria, in which a violet dye is applied, followed by a decolorizing agent and then a red dye.

    〔医〕革兰氏染色法

    • Moreover, single findings can occasionally be very powerful and definitive, just as the results of certain formal diagnostic tests (such as a spinal fluid Gram stain showing bacteria).
    • The use of standard biochemical testing rather than commercial systems has been recommended for identification of Gram-negative nonfermenting bacteria.

Origin

Late 19th century: named after Hans C. J. Gram (1853–1938), the Danish physician who devised the method.
