  2. Gram-negative bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram-negative_bacteria

    Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that, unlike gram-positive bacteria, do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method of bacterial differentiation. [1] Their defining characteristic is their cell envelope , which consists of a thin peptidoglycan cell wall sandwiched between an inner ( cytoplasmic ) membrane and an ...

  3. Gram stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_stain

    A Gram stain of mixed Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ATCC 25923, gram-positive cocci, in purple) and Escherichia coli (E. coli ATCC 11775, gram-negative bacilli, in red), the most common Gram stain reference bacteria. Gram stain (Gram staining or Gram's method), is a method of staining used to classify bacterial species into two large groups ...

  4. Haemophilus influenzae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilus_influenzae

    Haemophilus influenzae (formerly called Pfeiffer's bacillus or Bacillus influenzae) is a Gram-negative, non-motile, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic, capnophilic pathogenic bacterium of the family Pasteurellaceae. The bacteria are mesophilic and grow best at temperatures between 35 and 37 °C. [1]

  5. Pasteurella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteurella

    Pasteurella is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria. [1] [2] Pasteurella species are nonmotile and pleomorphic, and often exhibit bipolar staining ("safety pin" appearance). Most species are catalase- and oxidase-positive. [3]

  6. Hans Christian Gram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Gram

    In Berlin, in 1884, Gram developed a method for distinguishing between two major classes of bacteria. [1] This technique, known as Gram staining, continues to be a standard procedure of medical microbiology. This work gained Gram an international reputation. The staining method later played a major role in classifying bacteria. Gram was a ...

  7. Eosin methylene blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosin_methylene_blue

    Eosin methylene blue (EMB, also known as "Levine's formulation") is a selective and differential media used for the identification of Gram-negative bacteria, [1] specifically the Enterobacteriaceae. EMB inhibits the growth of most Gram-positive bacteria. EMB is often used to confirm the presence of coliforms in a sample.

    Based on species Thermomicrobium roseum (type species) and Sphaerobacter thermophilus, this bacteria class has the following description: [3] [4] The class Thermomicrobia subdivides into two orders with validly published names: Thermomicrobiales Garrity and Holt 2001 and Sphaerobacterales Stackebrandt, Rainey and Ward-Rainey 1997. Gram negative.
