Gomori's Methenamine Silver (GMS) stain is a specialized histological stain used to detect fungal organisms, certain bacteria, and other microorganisms in tissue samples. The stain is particularly valuable in the identification of fungal infections, as it highlights fungal cell walls, making them easily visible under a microscope. This method is commonly used in clinical pathology for the diagnosis of infections and other conditions that involve microorganisms in tissue.
