Is penicillin more effective against Gram negative or Gram positive?
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.
Does penicillin kill gram negative or gram positive or both?
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.
Does streptomycin kill gram negative bacteria?
Yes, streptomycin is effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacterial cells, leading to their death.
What bacteria does gentamicin kill?
Gentamicin is effective against a variety of Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. It is also active against some Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. However, resistance to gentamicin is becoming more common among certain bacterial strains.
Does levaquin treat gram positive cocci?
Yes, Levaquin (levofloxacin) is effective against a wide range of gram-positive cocci, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is commonly used to treat infections caused by these bacteria.
What is penicillin effective against?
gram-positive bacteria
Is penicillin more effective against Gram negative or Gram positive?
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.
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.
Are macroglides gram neg or positive?
they are niether, the term macroglides refers to a class of antibiotic that disrupts protein synthesis in bacteria
What is a narrow spectrum antibiotic effective against?
Narrow spectrum antibiotics are effective against just gram positive bacteria, just gram negative bacteria, or only a few specified species. Examples include: penicillin G, gentamicin, clindamycin, and gentamicin.

A drug that inhibits mitosis such as griseofulvin would be more effective against a. Fungi. b. Gram-positive bacteria c. Mycobacteria d. Wall-less bacteria e. Gram-negative bacteria?
a. Fungi. Griseofulvin is effective against fungi by disrupting their mitotic spindle formation during cell division.
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.
Does penicillin kill gram negative or gram positive or both?
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.
Does streptomycin kill gram negative bacteria?
Yes, streptomycin is effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacterial cells, leading to their death.
What are the positive and negative aspects about bacteria?
The positive aspect about bacteria is that weak bacteria can be used to prevent or defend against other bacteria that harms the body which is the negative aspect of bacteria.
Is cephalexin narrow or broad?
Cephalexin is considered a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is effective against a variety of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, making it suitable for treating various infections. However, it is not effective against all types of bacteria, particularly some resistant strains, which limits its use in certain cases.
