A simple and rapid (< 60 s) nonstaining technique with 3% potassium hydroxide to determine Gram reactions was tested with 495 food-borne and waterborne bacteria and yeasts. In KOH, suspensions of gram-negative bacteria become viscous and string out. Gram-positive bacteria are not affected. There was 100% correlation between the KOH string test results and gram-positive and gram-negative strains.
采用一种简单快速(<60秒)的3%氢氧化钾非染色技术来确定革兰氏反应,对495株食源性和水源性细菌及酵母菌进行了测试。在氢氧化钾中,革兰氏阴性菌的悬液会变黏稠并拉丝。革兰氏阳性菌不受影响。氢氧化钾拉丝试验结果与革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性菌株之间存在100%的相关性。
