- Place a small drop of sterile saline or distilled water in the center of the slide.
2. Sample Collection:
- Swab the area of interest, such as a wound or infected site, to collect bacteria.
- Gently spread the collected sample in the drop of saline or water on the slide.
- Use a second slide at a 30-45 degree angle to spread the sample evenly in a thin layer (smear).
4. Air-Drying:
- Allow the bacterial smear to air-dry completely to fix the bacteria onto the slide.
5. Staining:
- Follow the staining protocol carefully, including application of crystal violet, iodine, alcohol
decolorization, and safranin counterstain for Gram staining.
6. Microscopic Examination:
- Place the stained slide under a microscope with oil immersion lens for optimal magnification.
- Observe the bacterial morphology, arrangement, and staining characteristics to identify the type
of bacteria present.
7. Interpretation:
- Identify the Gram reaction (Gram-positive or Gram-negative), shape (cocci, bacilli, spirilla), and
arrangement (clusters, chains) of the bacteria.
- Note any specific features or patterns that may aid in bacterial identification.
8. Documentation:
- Record your observations in the patient's medical record, including the type of bacteria identified
and any relevant findings.
- Communicate the results to the healthcare team for appropriate treatment decisions..
9. Quality Control:
- Ensure proper labeling, handling, and processing of the bacterial smear to prevent contamination
and ensure accurate results.
