The Grocott-Gomori's (or Gömöri) methenamine silver stain, abbreviated GMS, is a popular staining method in histology. The stain was originally named after György Gömori, the Hungarian physician who developed the stain. It is used widely as a screen for fungal organisms. Particularly useful in staining carbohydrates. It can be used to identify the yeast-like fungus Pneumocystis jiroveci which causes a form of pneumonia called Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) or pneumocystosis. The cell walls of these organisms are outlined by the brown to black stain. gomori_silver_stain.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:58by 127.0.0.1
