Various Gram staining automated systems are available to accelerate and standardize the staining process, but a systematic comparison of different systems is largely lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate two devices in comparison to manual Gram staining. Clinical samples ( n = 500; University Hospital Münster, Germany; May to June 2020) were simultaneously Gram stained manually and with two automated Gram stainers (Previ Color Gram, bioMérieux, and ColorAX2, Axonlab).
