    This document outlines procedures for identifying gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, including performing a Gram stain, oxidase test, lactose fermentation test, and other identification tests. For gram-negatives, it describes different bacterial shapes and provides examples like Neisseria, Haemophilus, and enteric bacteria. For gram-positives, it discusses bacterial arrangements like chains, pairs, and clusters, and gives examples such as streptococci, staphylococci, and Bacillus that can be identified with additional tests.
