How is Colonization Identified in Histological Samples?
Histological techniques such as staining and microscopy are used to identify microbial colonization in tissue samples. Common staining methods include the use of Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Gram stain, and Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) stain. These techniques highlight the presence of microorganisms, allowing for detailed examination under a microscope.
