If a dead bacterial cell still maintains the integrity of cell wall, would it respond to Gram stain?
All bacteria are killed during the Gram staining process by either heat or methanol fixation to the slide. So, yes it does work on dead cells.
Katie is right. Well there is kit which can distinguish using this protocol between live and dead bacteria 10.1186/s12866-015-0376-x.
Is it really necessary to kill a living thing in order to find out what it is (was)?
