undrstnd d fact dat if i had te knowledge den y wuld i ask d PC abut it.......
Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria are different in their colouration when dyed and viewed with a light microscope. Gram-positive appear violet, and Gram-negative appear red. Gram-positive and Gram-negative classification, however, has nothing to do with size.
gram negative
i believe it is a gram bacteria which causes respiratory illness.
it is Bacillus with gram negative.
Moraxella catarrhalis is a gram-negative bacterium.
Penicillin is more effective against Gram positive bacteria. This is because the peptidoglycan layer of Gram negative bacteria acts as a barrier that makes them less susceptible to penicillin.
Gram-positive bacteria are generally more sensitive to penicillin compared to gram-negative bacteria. This is because gram-positive bacteria have a thinner cell wall that is easier for penicillin to penetrate and disrupt, leading to cell death. Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that provides some protection against penicillin, making them less susceptible.
Yes, penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) are found in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. PBPs are enzymes involved in cell wall biosynthesis and are the target of beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillin.
Penicillin is NOT effective against gram positive and negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. it is not effective against rest of the organisms.
Penicillin primarily targets and is more effective against gram-positive bacteria by disrupting their cell wall synthesis. It is less effective against gram-negative bacteria due to the presence of an outer membrane that restricts penicillin's access to the cell wall.
Gram-negative bacteria are more resistant to penicillin due to the presence of an outer membrane that acts as a barrier, preventing the antibiotic from reaching its target (peptidoglycan layer). Additionally, gram-negative bacteria possess enzymes called beta-lactamases that can break down penicillin and render it ineffective. These mechanisms make it harder for penicillin to kill gram-negative bacteria compared to gram-positive bacteria.
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.
Gram-positive bacteria are generally more sensitive to penicillin than Gram-negative bacteria. This is because the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is more susceptible to the action of penicillin, while Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that provides some protection against the antibiotic.
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.
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.
