Abstract

The elimination of the terms "gram positive, negative, and variable" and their replacement by the terms "Gram reaction positive, negative, and variable" and "Gram type positive, negative, and zero" are proposed. This action would permit a distinction between the reporting of the results of the Gram staining reaction and the placing of the bacteria into general taxonomic groups.
