Tetracycline kills both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The mode of action to which Tetracycline works to kill bacteria is that it inhibits protein synthesis which works against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
Tetracycline is resistant to gram negative bacteria also look here: http://books.google.com/books?id=gACeB8XCnpgC&pg=PA187&lpg=PA187&dq=tetracycline+gram+negative&source=bl&ots=5Mel7M91hj&sig=7jT1wNUd3KyGdKeeFBl4DLJ61c8&hl=en&ei=xpMBS8q6I9yIsAap6pyaDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CC8Q6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=tetracycline%20gram%20negative&f=false
Tetracycline is considered a broad-spectrum antibiotic that can treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Gram positive
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 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.
Name of gram positive and gram negative bacteria?
Acid-fast bacteria are gram-positive.
Gram-positive cells are purple and the Gram-negative cells are red.
Archaebacteria are neither gram positive nor gram negative because they do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls like bacteria. Instead, they have unique cell wall structures that make them distinct from both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
