Gram's stain

05/01/1998 - "Utility of Gram's stain and efficacy of quantitative cultures for posttraumatic pneumonia: a prospective study."
08/22/1994 - "Etiologic diagnosis is helpful in determining appropriate outpatient treatment for community-acquired pneumonia, and usually requires only sputum Gram's stain analysis. "
01/01/1987 - "Gram's stain of sputum is often helpful in the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia. "
03/01/2005 - "When assessed for the ability to predict pneumonia caused by a specific organism, the accuracy decreased significantly, with only 63% of Gram-negative VAPs and 72% of Gram-positive VAPs accurately identified by Gram's stain. "
02/01/2004 - "Pneumonia was documented in all infected animals at 24 hours by Gram's stain and positive tissue cultures for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. "

06/01/1999 - "The use of simple tests such as KOH staining, wet mount, Gram's stain, and pH of discharge greatly improved diagnostic accuracy, especially for candida and trichomonas, the two most common infections. "
03/01/1998 - "Gram's stain identified 3 infections and had 1 false positive result, while culture identified 7 infections and had 9 false positive results. "
10/08/2020 - "As for Gram's stain of bacteria, females had a lower rate of Gram-positive infections (p = 0.03). "
01/01/2019 - "As the exudate and tissue samples obtained from young children with skeletal system infections are frequently insufficient for a comprehensive laboratory workup, physicians should take in consideration the patient's age, predisposing medical conditions and possible exposure to zoonotic organisms, and use a judicious combination of Gram's stain, culture on blood culture vials, and molecular tests to maximize the microbiological diagnosis of these diseases."
01/01/2014 - "The infection occurred in a 72-year-old immunocompetent female, and the diagnosis was obtained by Gram's stain and culture of lung biopsy. "

01/01/1985 - "A positive Gram's stain is most helpful in differentiating bacterial from chemical meningitis. "
05/01/2013 - "The diagnosis of septic meningitis was based on clinical features; physical examination, blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytochemical findings, gram's stain and bacterial culture. "
03/01/2008 - "Broad-range bacterial PCR and meningitis with a negative Gram's stain."
01/01/1996 - "Acute meningitis with a negative Gram's stain: clinical and management outcomes in 171 episodes."
11/01/1998 - "The extent of cochlear ossification is classified and related to age at which infection occurred, cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte count, Gram's stain, organism, and delay between meningitis and implantation. "

01/01/2001 - "Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was assessed by Gram's stain and clinical criteria for 854 HIV-infected and 434 HIV-uninfected women enrolled in the HIV Epidemiology Research (HER) Study. "
01/01/2001 - "After adjustment for other covariates, HIV-positive women were more likely than HIV-negative women to have bacterial vaginosis (odds ratio (OR) 1.31; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.70) by Gram's stain but not by clinical criteria (OR 1.16; CI 0.87-1.55). "
01/01/2001 - "Almost half (46%) the women had bacterial vaginosis by Gram's stain. "
08/01/1996 - "Vaginal swabs for microbiological culture were taken from 174 pregnant women whose vaginal flora had been evaluated by Gram's stain; 50 had grade III flora (bacterial vaginosis, BV), 50 grade II (intermediate), 41 had vaginal flora graded as abnormal which then reverted to grade I (revertants) and 33 had normal flora (controls). "
05/01/1996 - "Each had a vaginal culture for multiple organisms and Gram's stain and pH test to diagnose bacterial vaginosis. "

11/01/1993 - "The areas advanced by studies of the pneumococcus include an understanding of the concept of pathogenesis of infectious disease; the development of Gram's stain for identification of bacteria in specimens from patients; the elucidation of the role of the bacterial capsule in resistance to phagocytosis by cells of the host's immune system; the demonstration that molecules other than proteins are capable of eliciting the host's humoral immune responses and later, by extension, that isolated bacterial exopolysaccharides can be used safely and effectively as vaccines in humans; the documentation of the efficacy of penicillin; the collection of conclusive evidence that DNA encodes genetic information; and the investigation of putative proteinaceous virulence factors."
