Of course they do not. There are many other bacteria

Are most pathogenic bacteria gram-negative?

No, not all pathogenic bacteria are gram-negative. Pathogenic bacteria can be either gram-negative or gram-positive, depending on their cell wall structure. Some common gram-negative pathogenic bacteria include Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Neisseria meningitidis, while some gram-positive pathogenic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis.


What is the value of gram staining?

Gram staining is highly valuable. It allows us to identify two widely different bacteria. Gram staining can tell you if the bacteria is pathogenic or if a penicillin pill can cure it. It tells us gram-positive bacteria, or gram-negative. Positive being easily combated bacteria and some even helpful, and gram-negative being primarily pathogenic.


Most pathogenic bacteria are consumer eubacteria and are grouped according to what characteristics?

Most pathogenic bacteria, which are classified as consumer eubacteria, are grouped based on several characteristics, including their shape (cocci, bacilli, spirilla), Gram staining properties (Gram-positive or Gram-negative), and metabolic capabilities (aerobic or anaerobic). Additionally, they can be categorized by their pathogenic mechanisms, such as toxins produced or host interactions. These classifications help in identifying and treating bacterial infections effectively.


How can bacteria be both pathogenic and non pathogenic?

No. Almost all bacteria are not. There are bacteria everywhere performing essential functions like breaking down dead animals and plants. Bacteria are essential to health helping digest food and preventing pathogenic bacteria from getting out of control.


Most pathogenic bacteria are consumer eubacteria and are grouped according to what characteristic?

Most pathogenic bacteria, which are classified as consumer eubacteria, are grouped primarily based on their shape (morphology), staining properties (Gram-positive or Gram-negative), and metabolic characteristics. These classifications help in identifying the bacteria and determining their potential effects on human health. Additional factors, such as oxygen requirements and biochemical properties, are also considered in their classification.

Well they are both pathogenic


Bacteria that cause diseases are?

The disease causing bacteria are called pathogenic bacteria.They are generally gram negative but can also be gram positivee.g. of pathogenic bacteria are :SalmonelllaPseudomonasClostridiumAnthracis etc.

What kind of bacteria can harm animals?

Just about any - gram negative, gram positive and acid-fast are all known to have pathogenic bacteria within them.

Why most of the gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic?

We hear more about Gram-negative pathogens (E. coli, Salmonella, etc.) because they make good news stories and are generally associated with transmission in improperly handled or prepared food. However, there are many pathogenic Gram positive bacteria as well - Staphlococcus (including MRSA), Streptococcus (such as strep throat), etc. Also, there are many Salmonella species that are non-pathogenic, as well as non-pathogenic E. coli, Enterobacteraceae, etc. So I'm not sure that most Gram negative bacteria are pathogenic.


Why to gram stain bacteria?

gram staining is a biochemical method of identifying bacteria in a more specific way.Thus it is important to differentiate gram positive and gram negative bacteria.


Are all bacterial cells pathogenic?

Pathogenic means "disease causing". Not all bacteria are pathogenic; some are essential for good health.

What is the antimicrobial activity of patchouli?

Patchouli oil was investigated for antimicrobial activity against a panel of ten human pathogenic bacteria and eight human pathogenic fungi. It showed a significant antimicrobial activity against all tested organisms compared to standard antibiotic Ampicillin. However, patchouli is more active against Gram positive than Gram negative bacteria.
