A client with a bacterial infection has had a wound swab taken. The gram staining process resulted in the bacteria changing color to red. Which type of bacteria is present?
A) Gram-positive bacteria
B) Gram-negative bacteria
C) Gram-staining bacteria
D) Streptococci bacteria
B
Feedback:
The client has gram-negative bacteria. The Gram-staining process helps to determine whether bacteria are gram-positive or gram-negative. Gram-positive bacteria appear violet after staining. Those that repel the violet dye but appear red, the color of a counter stain, are called gram-negative bacteria. Streptococci are round, grow in chains, and are gram-positive.
