stain. Gram staining‚ the most commonly used differential stain‚ allows for the fast and easy detection between gram negative and gram positive organisms based on the presence or absence of peptidoglycan. A gram positive organism resists the decolorization process due to a large amount of peptidoglycan and appears a purple color. A gram negative organism is successfully destained‚ counterstained with safranin and appears reddish-pink. Mannitol salt agar is used to detect an organism’s ability to
