Catching back up on this thread. Someone asked about Gram staining? I have a protocol but it's on my computer at work and the college is closed today due to weather. If you're serious DM me and I'll send it to you tomorrow. Or use Dr. Google. There are even videos of how to do it.
There are two tricky things about Gram staining - the first is it's messy and will stain your clothes, skin, countertop and sink (depending on the material).
The second trick part is interpretation. It takes practice and isn't always as straightforward as images on the internet would have you believe. Plus not all bacteria show a clear result. Oh, and you'll often get a mix of bacteria and it may not be obvious which one (if any) caused the problem.
