Scrapping from Tongue for Gram Stain

A scraping from the tongue for Gram stain involves collecting a sample of cells from the surface of the tongue to identify bacteria. The procedure includes gently scraping the tongue’s surface, preparing a slide, staining it, and examining the sample under a microscope. Preparation typically requires no special steps. Risks are minimal but may include slight discomfort or gagging. Results help identify bacterial infections or imbalances in the oral flora. Interpretation is based on the color and shape of bacteria (Gram-positive or Gram-negative). Conditions such as poor oral hygiene or recent antibiotic use can affect results.
