AAPC CEU Vendor Department 8/8/2017 4 Objectives 1. The Gram stain is a common stain performed in most laboratories and is often not fully understood. We will review the importance of the gram stain as it pertains to patient care and treatment. 2. The steps in the gram stain will be reviewed with explanation of each step. We hope this will help the attendees understand and be able to troubleshoot common problems with the stain. 3. This presentation will also review bacteria classification to help the attendees better understand the stain 9/12/2017 5 9/12/2017 6 Bacterial classificaon is important, revealing the identy of an organism so that its behaviour and likely response to treatment can be predicted. Bacterial structural components Bacterial cell walls are rigid and protect the organism from differences in osmoc tension between the cell and the environment. Gram-posive cell walls have a thick pepdoglycan layer and a cell membrane, whereas Gram-negave cell walls have three layers: inner and outer membranes, and a thinner pepdoglycan layer. The mycobacterial cell wall has a high proporon of lipid, including immunoreacve angens. Bacterial cell shape can also be used in classificaon. The following cell components are important for classificaon, pathogenicity and therapy. • Capsule: a polysaccharide layer that protects the cell from phagocytosis and desiccaon. • Lipopolysaccharide: surface angens that strongly smulate inflammaon and protect Gram- negave bacteria from complement-mediated lysis. • Fimbriae or pili: specialized thin projecons that aid adhesion to host cells. Escherichia coli that cause urinary tract infecons bind to mannose receptors on ureteric epithelial cells by their P fimbriae. Fimbrial angens are oen immunogenic but vary between strains so that repeated infecons may occur (e.g. Neisseria gonorrhoeae). 9/12/2017 7 Biological Classifica8on Biological Classificaon Is ed to paent treatment plans 9/12/2017 8 Biological Classifica8on • Bacteria-are microscopic living organisms, usually one-celled, that can be found everywhere.

However, due to limited laboratory facilities that can satisfy the procedure, applicability of this procedure appears to be adversely affected in field conditions and at peripheral health institutions. Hence, it has become necessary to look for a procedure which can be used as alternative in such conditions. Material and Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, Madhya Pradesh in conjunction with the Chest TB Clinic of Index Hospital, New Delhi for a period of 1year [from February 2018 to January 2019].

Asthana, Ritu Kansal, Anupam Das Department of Microbiology, Subharti Medical College, Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. Accepted 16 July, 2009 Ziehl Neelson, a carbol fuschin based stain, using the 3 component hot process is a standard staining technique for staining sputum smears for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We evaluated a 2 step cold staining method for detection of acid fast bacilli in sputum smears. 1836 sputum samples from patients of pulmonary tuberculosis were studied. Smears were prepared from each sample and slides were simultaneously stained by both methods and examined. The 2 step cold stain method was found to be equally sensitive as the ZN method detecting 20% of cases, when the primary stain was kept for a period of 20 min. The CS method also has the advantage of being simple, economical and less cumbersome and in the procedure of staining, heating, a much too precise step in ZN method for large scale application, is eliminated. The CS method may therefore prove as a good alternative for diagnosis of M.tuberculosis, particularly in smaller laboratories and peripheral centers where there is limitation of the funds and equipments. Key words: Cold stain, acid fast bacilli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. INTRODUCTION Demonstration of acid fast bacilli in the sputum is the methylene blue as decolouriser and counter-stain has been easiest, quickest and a reliable tool for the diagnosis of advocated as an alternative staining technique by various pulmonary tuberculosis (WHO, 1974).
