<p>Gram stain is a differential staining method used to identify gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria based on their cell wall properties. It allows differentiation between the two types of bacteria by applying crystal violet and iodine stains, followed by decolorization and counterstaining.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The recommended approach for managing equine wounds depends on their contamination level. Clean wounds only require lavage and debridement, while clean-contaminated wounds may not need antibiotics but still require lavage and debridement. Wounds exposing bone, tendon, or joint should be treated with antimicrobials until a healthy granulation tissue bed forms.</p> Signup and view all the answers
