The attention tag was added since the article looks too much of a procedure, and not an encyclopedic article. One solution would be to move the procedure to Wikibooks. Or it could be rewritten. -- Egil 09:12, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I must oppose merging Gram-negative into Gram-staining. Gram-negative and Gram-Positive are more than just the results of tests to identify sickness. Based on those tests, the terms have been applied to two subkingdoms of Eubacteria. From a medical point of view, this may be insignificant, but from a biologist's point of view, it is not. It's like merging "Oaks" and "Walnuts" into "Nuts: edible or not?"
I also oppose merging Gram Negative with Gram Staining. I arrived at Gram Negative from Proteobacteria and took that path because I was interested in the gram-negative properties of such bacteria. Gram Staining per se holds no interest to me. ~~Bacteria browser. 1st January 2007 (Happy New Year)
The picture is wrong. This is NOT a picture of a Gram stain. This is a picture of a Wright stain - a stain meant to stain WBC's, not bacteria. If this was really a Gram stain, then the nucleus of the cells would be decolorized and would end up being pink, not purple. However, I don't know how to change the picture. Please, someone has to correct this picture.
Gram staining is useful, but I wouldn't consider it the most useful stain. It helps determine the nature of the cell wall, but that alone is not terribly useful when it comes to identifying an organism. I've changed it to 'most common' because it's the most basic, most taught stain for microbiology. -- Sugarskane 04:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
You're wrong. Sputum, urine, CSF and wound drainage specimens are routinely gram stained. If lab personel are not on duty, resident housestaff provide this essential service. You're certainly right that not all hospitals staff their microbiology labs round the clock. -- Nunh-huh 04:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Should this article be named gram staining or gram stain? All of the other articles in category:staining are of the "stain" type, but I see the usefulness in having this article named gram staining. I am undecided. However, I am strongly opposed to renaming the other articles in the category. -- Kjkolb 02:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I am not sure if this stain was originally "invented" to differentiate between those two bacteria mentioned in the article. I was under the impression that it was developed to isolate bacteria in animal tissue, where the bacteria is one colour and the tissue is another. I will attempt to produce documentation of this! :) Rikku ( talk) 18:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
-- Also doesn't really highlight the implications; is one dangerous and one not, are they both dangerous, or is that orthogonal issue, with some and some. If both dangerous does it imply different antibiotics should be used.

Gram-indeterminate bacteria lacks of examples, a comprehensive list of non-gram staining bacteria or even its own wikipedia entry, that I think should be. I will add a link in 'See also' to 'Acid fast' that could be a substitute for now.
Standard form used by the US Federal Government's Center for Disease Control is as follows: [2]
It would be helpful for this article, Gram-positive bacteria, and Gram-negative bacteria to be standardized accordingly. Wikiuser100 ( talk) 15:03, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Gram staining. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.
Cheers. — cyberbot II Talk to my owner:Online 06:39, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

The request to rename this article to Gram stain has been carried out. |
Gram staining → Gram stain – All other pages use the noun - Giemsa stain, Leishman stain, Papanicolaou stain, Wright's stain, Romanowsky stain, May–Grünwald stain. Iztwoz ( talk) 08:21, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
When I learnt this, it was 1971, and for counterstaining we used Eosin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.191.164.107 ( talk) 13:00, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
We have two sections talking about the same thing, Gram-positive bacteria#Importance of the outer cell membrane in bacterial classification and Gram-negative bacteria#Taxonomy, that I believe are better put together in this article. They both start with "staining is part of traditional taxonomy, in most cases this stain corresponds to this structure", then goes off to talk about the outliers, much of which overlap.
