, Gram staining is a method of
differentiating bacterial species into two large
groups(Gram-positive and Gram-negative).
The Gram staining is almost always the first step in the
identification of bacteria.
It is a valuable diagnostic tool in both clinical and research
settings, not all bacteria can be definitively classified by this
technique. This gives rise to Gram-variable and Gram-
indeterminate groups as well.
