Modified ZN Stain1
FAQ
Which parasite can be diagnosed with a modified Ziehl-Neelsen stain?
Modified Ziehl-Neelsen (Z-N) staining, a rapid, sensitive, and easy test, was used successfully for the detection of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in stool specimens.
What is the site of infection of Cryptosporidium and Isospora species?
Cryptosporidium is most often found in the small intestine, however, those with weakened immunity may be affected by infections of other areas such as respiratory systems and digestive tracts. Isospora, a genus of protozoal parasites that also primarily affects the intestines of mammalian species, is known to have an environmentally-resistant cyst stage called oocysts. This allows for efficient transmission within different hosts over time.
Why certain organisms are called acid-fast?
Certain cells demonstrate an ability to bind with a particular dye. Even after being doused in an acid solution, they retain that same dye- demonstrating what is referred to as "acid-fast". This property is observed in bacteria related to tuberculosis and other infections.

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining in Udaipur to identify acid-fast organisms.
Overview of Modified Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) Staining
The Modified Ziehl-Neelsen stain is a differential stain used to identify acid-fast organisms, mainly Mycobacteria. Oocysts of coccidian parasites are also acid-fast organisms, mainly Cryptosporidium and Isospora species. Hence they can also be detected and identified through the Modified Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining procedure.
Modified Ziehl- Neelsen (ZN) staining is used to stain fecal smears for the identification of coccidian protozoa. Oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum do not concentrate well using standard concentration techniques, so a modified Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining technique is used where the oocysts stain a granular red colour against a green background.
For accurate and timely test results, you can rely on Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for Modified Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining in Udaipur.
