    Gram staining of bacteria is a method used to differentiate between two major groups of bacteria - Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The process involves applying a violet stain to a heat-fixed bacterial smear on a slide and then rinsing with an iodine solution or alcohol. Gram-positive bacteria retain the violet stain while Gram-negative bacteria are decolorized to pink or red. This differentiation provides important information about bacterial cell wall structure and susceptibility to antibiotics.
