Early bleb related endophthalmitis is caused by Streptococcus epidermidis‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ Propionibacterium acnes and other gram positive organisms. Late onset endophthalmitis is caused by Streptococcus‚ gram negative organisms such as Haemophilusinfluenzae‚ Moraxella‚ Pseudomonas and Serratia The treatment of bleb related endophthalmitis should be more aggressive than on the lines of edophthalmitis per se as the prognosis is poor.

provide accurate data. 2. Through this letter I would like to present my opinion regarding Grams staining method and reliability of this method. According to me‚ Grams staining process is a simple technique that assists in recognition of etiological agent and therefore can be called as one of the most significant staining practices in microbiology. Though‚ Gram is concerned that the staining process developed by him is imperfect because not all bacteria can be stained by it‚ but in my opinion

suspect bacteria‚ which are Bacillus‚ Mycoplasma‚ and Escherichia. A discussion of staining procedures‚ as well as anatomical differences will be discussed for each specimen. Bacillus are Prokaryotic cells‚ that are rod shaped bacteria and can from long chains. Bacillus are also spore forming. When gram staining a Bacillus sample‚ they are found to be gram positive. However‚ there are some Bacillus that are gram negative. Escherichia are similar to Bacillus‚ in that they are rod shaped‚ but they

Microbiology Lab Quiz #2 Study Guide Exercise 9 -- The Gram Stain Compare and contrast simple and differential staining techniques. Simple Staining Simple staining is useful in determining the basic morphology of an organism. Simple staining involves only one reagent i.e. crystal violet‚ basic fuchsin‚ or methylene blue. Simple dyes used to stain bacteria have a positive charge cationic (+)‚ therefore‚ they are attracted to the bacteria that are usually negatively charged anionic (-) Depends

Signs and symptoms of Conjunctivitis‚ Swelling of conjunctiva and watering of the eyes are symptoms common to all forms of conjunctivitis. However‚ the pupils should be normally reactive‚ and the visual acuity normal. Viral Viral conjunctivitis is often associated with an infection of the upper respiratory tract‚ a common cold‚ and/or a sore throat. Its symptoms include excessive watering and itching.

In order to determine which one of the three may be the source of the infection we have to recognize the characteristics of each one and the staining protocol needed to identify them. All three of the above mentioned genera are considered to be members of the Prokaryotic cell family which includes bacteria. They have certain identifiable features that distinguishes them from Eukaryotes such as:
