Ziehl Bacteriol.|tsiːl| The name of F. Ziehl (1857–1926), German neurologist, used attrib. and in the possessive to designate a red stain consisting of an alcoholic solution of fuchsine in an aqueous solution of phenol; so Ziehl-Neelsen [F. K. A. Neelsen (1854–94), German bacteriologist], applied to a method for identifying acid-fast organisms such as tubercle bacilli by staining with Ziehl's stain, decolorizing with sulphuric acid (and sometimes also alcohol), and counterstaining with methylene blue: acid-fast organisms retain the original red colour.
