Service Providers for Tissue for Gram Stain
The Tissue for Gram Stain test helps identify bacterial infections in tissue samples by distinguishing bacteria into two categories: Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The process involves preparing a tissue sample, applying a Gram stain (crystal violet, iodine, alcohol, and safranin), and examining it under a microscope. No special preparation is needed, but tissue biopsy may be required. Risks include discomfort during biopsy. Results show bacterial presence and type. Infections like pneumonia or sepsis may alter results. Interpreting bacterial color and shape helps guide treatment decisions, with potential errors from improper staining or sample contamination.
