gram-negative bacterias
Does vancomycin treat gram negative bacterial infections?
Vancomycin is used to treat both Gram positive and Gram negative coccal infections. The drug inhibits the synthesis of peptigoglycan, a vital component of the cell wall of both Gram positive and Gram negative cocci. Although Gram negative cocci have an additional outer membrane that "vanco" can't penetrate, it can crack the outer membrane, ultimately allowing the drug to act on the cell.
Are coliforms gram-positive or gram negative?
Gram negative
Is Escherichia coli gram negative or gram positive?

Can prokaryotic cells be either gram positive or gram negative?
The chief component of the Prokaryotic cell wall is peptidoglycan. Peptidoglyon readily absorbs stain so all Prokaryotic cells are gram postive.
What is the function of LPS or Lipopolysaccharide?
The major component of the bacterial cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria is LPS, Lipopolysaccharide. LPS helps protect the membrane from certain kinds of chemical attack and greatly contributes to the structural integrity of the bacteria.
