What is the difference between gram-positive cocci and gram-negative rods?
Gram-positive cocci are bacteria with a spherical shape that retain a purple stain in the Gram staining method, indicating a thick peptidoglycan cell wall. Gram-negative rods are bacteria with a rod shape that appear pink after Gram staining due to their thinner peptidoglycan cell wall and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides. Additionally, gram-negative rods generally have higher resistance to antibiotics compared to gram-positive cocci.
Does Rocephin or Zithromax treat gram negative rods?
Yes, Rocephin (ceftriaxone) is effective against many gram-negative rods. Zithromax (azithromycin) is not typically used to treat gram-negative rods due to limited coverage against this type of bacteria. Other antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones or aminoglycosides may be more appropriate.
What is moraxella?
Moraxella are: - bacteria - short gram negative rods that occur in pairs - obligate parasites of mucosal surfaces
What shape are gram negative bacteria?
Gram negative bacteria are typically rod-shaped (bacilli) or corkscrew-shaped (spirochetes). They have a double cell membrane composed of an inner and outer membrane, which contributes to their staining properties in the Gram staining technique.
How many rods are in a chain?
There are 4 rods in a chain. Each rod is equal to 1/4 of a chain.
Is E-coli a gram negative cocci or rods?
a gram negative rod
Is botulism gram positive or gram negative?
Spore forming, gram positive rods
Gram negative rods are often treated with?
Aminogylcosides

Which of the following genera is an anaerobic gram negative rod?
Bacteroides is a genus of anaerobic gram-negative rods.
Is E Coli bacteria gram negative or gram positive?
the previous answer of gram positive rods is incorrect the correct answer is gram negative rods

What organism has gram negative rods of varying size and shape?
meningtis
What are the most common gram-negative rods found in clinical settings?
The most common gram-negative rods found in clinical settings are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii.
What is moraxella?
Moraxella are: - bacteria - short gram negative rods that occur in pairs - obligate parasites of mucosal surfaces
Pseudomonas (Chemoorganotrophs)?
Gram-negative rods, Motile and often pigmented, Common opportunistic pathogen
Organism which is indole negative mr positive vp negative citrate positive?
Sounds like Citrobacter freundii. Double check that you do have a gram negative rod that is motile, H2S negative and oxidative negative (most gram neg rods are).
