| Gram stain |
Gram's method: a staining technique used to classify bacteria; bacteria are stained with gentian violet and then treated with Gram's solution; after being decolorized with alcohol and treated with safranine and washed in water, those that retain the gentian violet are Gram-positive and those that do not retain it are Gram-negative

| Gram stain |
An important bacteriological staining procedure discovered empirically in 1884 by the Danish scientist Christian Gram. When bacteria are stained with certain basic dyes, the cells of some species (Gram-negative species) can be easily decolorized with organic solvents such as ethanol or acetone. Cells of Gram-positive species resist decolorization. (16)
