What domain is bacteria?
Domain Bacteria is composed of organisms that are much more common than Archaea and live almost anywhere. There are more bacteria in a person's mouth than there are people in the world. Many are decomposers, some are photosynthesizers, and a few cause disease. Most bacteria cause disease by producing exotoxins that harm human cells, while others cause illness as a result of glycoproteins found on the outside of their capsules. There are many shapes that bacteria can come in, but three of the main ones are cocci, bacilli, and spirochete. Cocci are spherical prokaryotic cells that are usually found in clusters or colonies. Some cocci form chains; bacteria of this type are called streptococci. Bacilli are rod shaped cells that are usually found individually, although a few form pairs, diplobacilli, or chains, streptobacilli. Spirochetes are the last group. The bacteria in this group are helically shaped and usually are found alone. They can reach .5 mm long but are extremely thin.
What resistant forms of bacteria are produced by gram positive bacilli of the most dangerous disease bacteria?
Your question is not clear. Do you mean do some Gram + bacilli produce resistant forms. If so, you are thinking of those bacteria that produce endospores. They form these when the environment becomes hash and unlivable for them. Most studies have been with Bacillus subtilitus and Clostridium. These four Clostridium have clinical interest because of the diseases they cause: C. botulinum, C. difficile, C. perfringens and C. tetani.B. subtilitus is not really a pathogen but is now considered a normal gut bacteria.

Why are the bacteria that cause leprosy referred to as acid-fast bacilli?
Because special staining techniques involving acids are required to view these bacteria under the microscope, they are referred to as acid-fast bacilli (AFB).
What does bacilli cause?
bacilli bacteria (Bacillus anthracis) causes anthrax in sheep and humans, and (lactobacillus) causes tooth decay and is also an ingredient in yogurt. Bacilli can cause tetanus (lockjaw) typhoid feaver, tuberculosis, and diphtheria (Milady's Standard Cosmetology ~source)
