acid-fast

Organisms are identified by their red color on acid-fast staining.

They can also be stained by modified acid-fast stain.

One type of acid-fast stain is the Kinyoun technique.

Gram positive, acid-fast coccobacilli that may form cell aggregates in culture.

Acid-fast delicate slender rods that are often slightly curved, 1.2 to 3 um long.

The diagnosis is confirmed by a skin biopsy and a positive culture for acid-fast bacilli.

Cells are acid-fast rods that rarely form cell aggregates in liquid culture.

Some bacteria may also be partially acid-fast.

Acid-fast staining methods, with or without stool concentration, are most frequently used in clinical laboratories.

Because it is acid-fast to some degree, it stains only weakly gram positive.

Acid-fast bacilli will be bright red after staining.

They must be differentiated from other partially acid-fast organisms including Cyclospora cayetanensis.

Acid-fast detection techniques are used instead.

It is a special bacteriological stain used to identify acid-fast organisms, mainly Mycobacteria.

Gram-positive, nonmotile, short to moderately long and acid-fast rods.

Mycobacterium kubicae is a Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast bacterial species.

Other staining techniques include acid-fast staining, which will stain the oocysts red.

Corynebacterineae is a suborder of the Actinomycetales and includes most of the acid-fast bacteria.

Short, occasionally curved, gram-positive, nonmotile and strongly acid-fast rods.

Other mycobacteria are also acid-fast.

A chest X-ray and multiple sputum cultures for acid-fast bacilli are typically part of the initial evaluation.

Cryptosporidium oocysts are 4-6 m in diameter and exhibit partial acid-fast staining.

M. hassiacum is a gram-positive, nonmotile bacteria with partially acid-fast rods.

Acid-fast bacteria retains Carbol Fuchsin so they appear red.

Mycobacterium phlei is an acid-fast bacteria of the genus Mycobacterium.
