Achromobacteriaceae
Scope note: Amplio grupo de bacterias aerobias, que adquieren color rosado (negativas) cuando se tratan con el método de tinción de Gram. Esto se debe a que las paredes celulares de las bacterias gramnegativas son pobres en peptidoglicanos y, en consecuencia, tienen escasa afinidad por la tinción violeta y una alta afinidad por el color rojizo de la safranina.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006088
Scope note: A large group of aerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. This is because the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria are low in peptidoglycan and thus have low affinity for violet stain and high affinity for the pink dye safranine.
