What does Neisseria gonorrhoeae gram stain mean?

Gram stain is negative for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Humans are the only host of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Neisseria gonorrhoeae can be transmitted sexually, causing infection of the genitourinary system. Gram stain was developed by Danish pathologist Christain Gram in 1884. It is an important method of differential staining in bacteriology because it allows bacteria to be identified as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. If the bacteria are gram stained, those that are blue after staining are called gram positive, and those that are red are called gram negative bacteria. When clinical patients take purulent secretions, gram stain microscopy, if gram negative diplococci are found in neutrophils, it is valuable for diagnosis. At this time, we will say Neisseria gonorrhoeae gram positive.
