Although G. vaginalis is a major species present in bacterial vaginosis, it can also be isolated from women without any signs or symptoms of infection. [6] It has a Gram-positive cell wall, [7] but, because the cell wall is so thin, it can appear either Gram-positive or Gram-negative under the microscope.
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 that their cell envelope consists of a thin peptidoglycan cell wall sandwiched between an inner ( cytoplasmic ) membrane and an outer ...
To obtain a Nugent score, gram stain techniques are carried out and it characterizes the bacterial morphology on a scale. A score greater than 7 is associated with BV, 4-6 is an intermediate abnormality, and 0-3 is normal. [42] Typically, only women with symptoms receive treatment.
Gram negative Neisseria gonorrhoeae and pus cells. Gram-negative bacteria generally possess a thin layer of peptidoglycan between two membranes (diderm). [26] Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the most abundant antigen on the cell surface of most gram-negative bacteria, contributing up to 80% of the outer membrane of E. coli and Salmonella. [27]
A Gram stain of a urethral exudate showing typical intracellular Gram-negative diplococci, which is diagnostic for gonococcal urethritis [17]. Neisseria species are fastidious, Gram-negative cocci (though some species are rod-shaped and occur in pairs or short chains) that require nutrient supplementation to grow in laboratory cultures. [18]

Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. It is a rod shaped, aerobic and motile bacteria, which is able to migrate across surfaces due its “swarming” characteristic in temperatures between 20 and 37 °C. [1] Their size generally ranges from 0.4 to 0.8 μm in diameter and 1.0–3.0 μm in length. They tend to have an ammonia smell. [2]
Capnocytophaga spp. are fusiform Gram-negative bacilli, and they are part of the oral commensal flora. Microscopic observation revealed a high degree of polymorphism with a variation in the size and appearance depending on the strain and culture conditions. This polymorphism is also reflected in the observation of colonies (orange-pigmented ...
