Escherichia Coli Smear Gram Stain Prepared Microscope Slide

This prepared microscope slide features an Escherichia coli (E. coli) smear, stained with Gram stain. E. coli is a gram-negative bacterium commonly found in the digestive system of mammals. While not typically harmful, the bacteria can become pathogenic under certain conditions, making this slide valuable for discussions about pathogenic versus non-pathogenic bacteria. The wholemount slide measures 75mm (3") wide by 25mm (1") long and 0.06" in height, and arrives in a protective cardboard casing. All materials are completely inert and sealed in glass.
