Chemists have developed a fluorescent probe, BacGo that can detect Gram-positive bacteria precisely and promptly. The research team used bacterial sludge from wastewater for the demonstration ...

THE usual method for staining bacterial and yeast spores requires three operations: the staining of both spores and vegetative cells by applying heat to the slide bearing the dye; the removal of stain ...

Bacterial patterns invisible to the eye reveal hidden information only with correct biochemical triggers, creating anti-counterfeiting codes that are harder to copy or forge.

Compared with other urine analysis methods, urine Gram stain has a moderate predictive value for detecting gram-negative bacteria in urine culture but does not significantly improve urinary tract ...

Tomb of Giuliano de'Medici in the New Sacristy (Medici Chapel), San Lorenzo, Florence (photo via Richard Mortel's Flickrstream) In these epidemic days, it’s easy to paint all microbial organisms in a ...

Scientists have developed messages that only appear under specific biochemical triggers, using living bacteria.

Two years ago, a group of infants died at the university hospital and it was found to be Gram-negative bacteria that caused their death. The Gram-negative bacteria turn into pink color and ...
