Acid fast stain
Active
Description
The Ziehl-Neelsen stain, one of the acid-fast stains, was first described by two German doctors: Franz Ziehl (1859 to 1926), a bacteriologist and Friedrich Neelsen (1854 to 1894), a pathologist. It is a special bacteriological stain used to identify acid-fast mycobacteria (mostly TB). It can also be used to stain few other bacteria like Nocardia. The reagents used are Ziehl-Neelsen carbolfuchsin, acid alcohol and methylene blue. The bacteria are called acid fast, because the stain persists after an acidic wash.
