Gram negative bacteria are much more resistant to penicillin because?
Peptidoglycan in Gram-negative bacteria is inaccessible to penicillins because penicillin cannot penetrate the Gram-negative outer membrane.
Is penicillin more effective against Gram negative or Gram positive?
Gram Positive
Are penicillin binding proteins found in gram positive and gram negative bacteria?
Yes they are
Does penicillin kill gram negative or gram positive or both?
gram positive because they prevent the synthesis of a structure called peptidogylcan found on the bacterium cell wall
How penicillin affect gram positive and gram negative cell?
Penicillin is an antibiotic that destroys Bacteria by destroying the cell wall of the microorganism. It does this by inactivating an enzyme necessary for the cross linking of bacterial cell walls. Cell wall construction than stops and the bacteria soon die.
Gram negative bacteria are much more resistant to penicillin because?
Peptidoglycan in Gram-negative bacteria is inaccessible to penicillins because penicillin cannot penetrate the Gram-negative outer membrane.
Is penicillin more effective against Gram negative or Gram positive?
Gram Positive
Are penicillin binding proteins found in gram positive and gram negative bacteria?
Yes they are
What is the drug study for a ampicillin?
mpicillin /am·pi·cil·lin/ (am″pĭ-sil´in) a semisynthetic, acid-resistant, penicillinase-sensitive penicillin used as an antibacterial against many gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria; also used as the sodium salt.semisynthetic aminopenicillin. indication It is prescribed in the treatment of infections caused by a broad spectrum of sensitive gram-negative and gram-positive organisms.contraindication Known hypersensitivity to any penicillin prohibits its use.adverse effects Among the most serious adverse reactions are anaphylaxis, nausea, and diarrhea. Fever, rashes, allergic reactions, and suprainfection also may occur.
Is penicillin gram negative or gram positive?
undrstnd d fact dat if i had te knowledge den y wuld i ask d PC abut it.......
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.
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.
Does penicillin kill gram negative or gram positive or both?
gram positive because they prevent the synthesis of a structure called peptidogylcan found on the bacterium cell wall
Why are Gram-positive bacteria more susceptible to the effects of penicillin than Gram-negative bacteria?
Penicillins have a bacteriocidal effect on Gram-positive bacteria. In Gram-positive cells, peptidoglycan makes up as much as 90% of the thick, compact cell wall, and is the outermost layer. Penicillins are not effective against Gram-negative bacteria, which have cell walls in which peptidoglycan is not the outermost layer, but that lies between the plasma membrane and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) outer membrane. Penicillin cannot access the peptidoglycan of Gram-negative cells.
Why do doctors prescribe amoxicillin instead of penicillin for tonsiitis?
amoxicilin is a semi-synthetic form of penicillin. After the penicillin is extracted, some of it is converted to amoxicillin. penicillin is primarily for gram+ bacteria while amoxicillin is effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.Amoxicillin is better absorbed than penicillin as it can withstand the acidity of stomach juice better than penicillin releasing more antybiotics in to blood stream.
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.
What value is the gram stain?
Gram staining is highly valuable. It allows us to identify two widely different bacteria. Gram staining can tell you if the bacteria is pathogenic or if a penicillin pill can cure it. It tells us gram-positive bacteria, or gram-negative. Positive being easily combated bacteria and some even helpful, and gram-negative being primarily pathogenic.
