Name two special stains used for Corynebacterium
diphtheriae?
Answer Posted / swapna
There are two key types of stains used on bacteria like
simple stains and differential stains.
Simple stains used to increase color contrast in cells. They
are generally able to react with all types of bacteria.
Aniline dyes, such as methylene blue, crystal violet, basic
fuchsin, eosin Y, and safranin O, are examples of simple
stains.
These are basic dyes, as opposed to acidic dyes, and bind
with the acidic portions of cells.
