A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a virtual Gram staining technique that could transform how microbiologists stain and classify bacteria. This ...

Two years ago, a group of infants died at the university hospital and it was found to be Gram-negative bacteria that caused their death. The Gram-negative bacteria turn into pink color and ...

Gram staining is one way scientists can identify bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, appear blue or purple under a microscope when scientists apply a stain. Conversely, ...

There are two main types of bacteria, and these categories reflect the microbes' biology and their vulnerability to different antibiotics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Chemists have developed a fluorescent probe, BacGo that can detect Gram-positive bacteria precisely and promptly. The research team used bacterial sludge from wastewater for the demonstration ...
