Clasificación

Bacterias gramnegativas:

La mayoría de las bacterias se pueden clasificar de acuerdo a un procedimiento de laboratorio llamado tinción de Gram.
Las bacterias con paredes celulares que tienen una capa delgada de peptidoglicano no retienen la tinción de cristal violeta utilizada en la tinción de Gram. Sin embargo, estas bacterias retienen la contratinción de safranina y, por lo tanto, adoptan un color rojo-rosado en la tinción, lo que las hace gramnegativas. Estas bacterias pueden clasificarse además según su morfología (diplococos, bastones curvos, bacilos y cocobacilos) y su capacidad para crecer en presencia de oxígeno (aeróbicos versus anaeróbicos). Las bacterias se pueden identificar de manera más profunda cultivándolas en medios específicos (agar hierro triple azúcar) donde se pueden identificar sus enzimas (ureasa, oxidasa) y se puede probar su capacidad para fermentar lactosa.
