Gram positive
Streptococcus pyogenes is gram positive bacteria.
the Gram reaction is based on the structure of the bacterial cell wall. In Gram-positive bacteria, the dark purple crystal violet stain is retained by the thick layer of peptidoglycan which forms the outer layer of the cell. In Gram-negative bacteria, the thin peptidoglycan layer in the periplasm does not retain the dark stain, and the pink safranin counter stain stains the peptidoglycan layer. In other word,the gram reaction refers to how the cells reacts to the gram-staining process.
Yes, a bacterium's gram reaction is often related to its shape. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer that retains the crystal violet dye used in the Gram staining procedure, while gram-negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane that does not retain the dye. The shape of the bacterium can influence how well the dye penetrates and stains the cell wall, affecting the outcome of the Gram reaction.
Non-acid-fast bacteria typically have a Gram reaction of either Gram-positive or Gram-negative. Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet stain and appear purple under a microscope due to their thick peptidoglycan cell wall. In contrast, Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the crystal violet stain; they take up the counterstain (usually safranin) and appear pink due to their thinner peptidoglycan layer and outer membrane. The distinction is important for identifying and treating bacterial infections.
Most gram positive bacteria do not grow on MacConkey agar or Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar, as these are selective media designed to inhibit the growth of gram positive organisms. So, typically, you would not expect a gram positive bacteria to grow on these media.

Gram positive
i believe it is a gram bacteria which causes respiratory illness.
Gram-negative bacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer in their cell walls compared to gram-positive bacteria. Additionally, gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that contains lipopolysaccharides, which is absent in gram-positive bacteria.
Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet stain and appear purple when stained with Gram's stain, because the thick peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall traps the dye. On the other hand, Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the crystal violet stain and appear red or pink after the addition of a counterstain like safranin, due to their thin peptidoglycan layer which is unable to retain the dye.
The bacteria present in curd are primarily Gram-positive bacteria. These include species like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Gram-negative bacteria are not typically found in curd as the fermentation process favors the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.
No, Gram-positive bacteria do not have lipopolysaccharides.
