    This document provides an overview of bacterial cytology and morphology. It discusses the key characteristics of bacteria, including their classification as prokaryotes and unicellular organisms that lack nuclei. The two main types of bacterial cell walls - gram positive and gram negative - are described, focusing on their differences in peptidoglycan layer thickness and additional structures. Methods for staining bacteria, including the acid fast stain technique, are also briefly covered.
