<span>While Acid fast bacteria retain carbol fuchsin after acid-alcohol treatment, non- Acid fast bacteria are decolorized by acid-alcohol.
Bacteria of genus mycobacterium are best stained using acid-fast method. A mixture of Phenol and fuchsin is carbol fuchsin. In acid-slcohol, acid is hydrochloric acid.</span>
