It’s a survival response to adverse response
eg: lake of nutrients.
It make the bacteria highly resistant to
heat , desiccation and chemicals. Endospopers
Bacteria cannot reproduce when forming it.
Used for bacteria which’s not shown up in
Geam stain
Since it is rich in special acid called Used mainly for Mycobacteria
“mycolic acid”
rickettsias,
aka:Ziehl-Neelsen staining
chlamydia, Can be use. Also for
Acid- fast Bacteria
mycoplasmas,
mycobacteria
The stain contain solution (Carbol-Fuchsin) Process
which attaches to the mycolic acid turning
the bacteria into pink
