Gram staining is a differential bacterial staining technique introduced in 1884 by Hans Christian Gram, used to classify bacteria as Gram Positive or Gram Negative based on cell wall composition. The process involves several steps including crystal violet staining, iodine addition, decolorization, and counterstaining with safranin, which results in different colors for the two types of bacteria. Essential requirements for the procedure include a Gram staining kit, glass slide, and microscope.
