F. aStaining rickettsiae in yolk sac culture.h[electronic resource] c1964 aAbstract: Rickettsiae in yolk sacs are not stained well by the Macchiavello technique, and experiments were undertaken to understand the mechanisms involved. It was found that the citric acid destaining step was not effective and that most of the basic fuchsin was lost from the rickettsiae during the application of methylene blue, another basic dye. A staining technique was then evolved with carbol basic fuchsin in pH 7.45 phosphate buffer (0.4% dye, 0.4% phenol, 0.07 M buffer), followed directly by 0.8% aqueous malachite green oxalate. This technique worked well for R. mooseri, R. prowazeki, R. rickettsii, R. akari, and R. buretii, but for R. tsutsugumushi a modification was needed, whereby 4% aqueous Fe(NO3)3·9H2O was used as destaining solution, and 0.5% aqueous fast green as the counter-stain. aAnimal diseases aCulture media aRickettsia aYolk sac aAnimal aBacteriologia aDoença aColoring Agents aStaining and Labeling aTissue Culture Techniques tStain Technologygv. 39, n. 3, p. 135-140, 1964.
