Is positive gram cocci resistant to penicillins?
No penicillin is most effective against gram-positive bacteria.
Are penicillin binding proteins found in gram positive and gram negative bacteria?
Yes they are
Which Antibiotics disrupts cell membrane in bacteria?
penicillin is an example. It disrupts the pedtidoglycan of the cell membrane in Gram-positive bacteria.
What would happen if a suspension of bacteria is placed in a distilled water with penicillin?
eventually the bacteria would die because the penicillin would interfere with the ability to synthesize a cell wall thus the bacteria wouldn't divide. and the existing bacterial cell wall would lengthen and become frail. However, the bacteria must be gram-positive because they have cell walls composed of peptidoglycan, which is ideal for penicillin to attack.

List of antibiotics active against gram positive bacteria?
ciprofloxacin penicillin
Why cant penicillin be used to cure every infection?
Penicillin is effective against gram positive and negative coccus types of bacteria and gram positive bacillus types of bacteria only. So it does not cover all the infections. Now a days many bacteria has developed resistance to it.
Are penicillin binding proteins found in gram positive and gram negative bacteria?
Yes they are
Does penicillin cure all infections and bacteria?
Penicillin is NOT effective against gram positive and negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. it is not effective against rest of the organisms.
Which Antibiotics disrupts cell membrane in bacteria?
penicillin is an example. It disrupts the pedtidoglycan of the cell membrane in Gram-positive bacteria.
Does penicillin capsules work for human infections?
Penicillin is not a broad spectrum antibiotic like chloramphenicol or the tetracycline. In fact the penicillin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic. It kills the gram positive and gram negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. Now a days many bacteria has become resistant to penicillin.
