As part of the routine examination, Scott and Jane were checked for sexually transmitted diseases and a gram-stain test was completed. Which one of the following statements is the BEST description of the gram-strain test?
Correct Answer
B. The specimen is stained to identify structural differences.
Explanation
The gram-stain test is a laboratory technique used to identify structural differences in bacteria. It involves staining the bacterial cells with crystal violet dye, followed by iodine, alcohol, and safranin.
