Solution

The answer is as follows:

  1. Clostridium botulinum - endospore stain
  2. Cryptococcus neoformans - capsule stain
  3. Staphylococcus aureus - Gram stain (positive)
  4. Mycobacterium tuberculosis - acid-fast stain
  5. Salmonella enterica Typhi - Gram stain (negative)

Explanation:

  1. Clostridium botulinum: This bacterium forms endospores, which are best identified using an endospore stain.
  2. Cryptococcus neoformans: This organism has a prominent capsule, making the capsule stain the best method for identification.
  3. Staphylococcus aureus: This is a Gram-positive bacterium, so it is best identified using a Gram stain (positive).
  4. Mycobacterium tuberculosis: This bacterium has a waxy cell wall that is resistant to Gram staining but can be identified using an acid-fast stain.
  5. Salmonella enterica Typhi: This is a Gram-negative bacterium, so it is best identified using a Gram stain (negative).

In summary, each organism is matched with the staining method that is most effective for its identification based on its unique characteristics.
