The Gram's Stain Test is one of the most fundamental and essential tools in microbiology. It is a rapid staining technique used to classify bacteria into two large groups based on the structural differences in their cell walls: Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative.
This simple test can be performed on virtually any clinical specimen (sputum, urine, wound exudate, CSF, blood culture fluid) and provides critical preliminary information within minutes, guiding the physician toward the most appropriate initial "empiric" antibiotic treatment before culture results are available.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL Accredited Lab in Delhi, our microbiology team performs immediate Gram's staining on relevant specimens, ensuring the fastest possible preliminary diagnosis.
