No, Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive bacterium.
Gram Positive.
Gram positive
Candida albicans is a yeast and belongs to the fungal kingdom, so it does not have a gram classification like bacteria. Gram staining is a technique used to differentiate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria based on the composition of their cell walls.
Gram positive
Nostoc is a type of cyanobacteria that contains both gram-positive and gram-negative characteristics. It does not fit neatly into the gram-positive or gram-negative classification system due to its unique cell wall structure.
The term 'clostridium difficile' is the name for a strand of Gram-positive bacteria. This type of bacteria is well known for causing bad cases of diarrhea.
The scientific name for C-diff is Clostridium difficile.
Citrobacter freundii is a Gram-negative bacterium.
Your question is not clear. Do you mean do some Gram + bacilli produce resistant forms. If so, you are thinking of those bacteria that produce endospores. They form these when the environment becomes hash and unlivable for them. Most studies have been with Bacillus subtilitus and Clostridium. These four Clostridium have clinical interest because of the diseases they cause: C. botulinum, C. difficile, C. perfringens and C. tetani.B. subtilitus is not really a pathogen but is now considered a normal gut bacteria.
Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacillus that is responsible for the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis. More details are available on the linked website.
When people say "C. diff" (pronounced "see diff"), they mean an infection by the Clostridium difficile bacterium. Many people carry this bacterium in their GI tract normally. However, if these people take antibiotics, C. difficile can tough it out while other bacteria are killed. A bit later, C. difficile can overgrow and become a real problem. Clindamycin is the antibiotic that is most associated with C. difficile infection, but almost any antibiotic can trigger it, including penicillins. Rarely, C. difficile infection can occur without antibiotic use. Staying in a hospital increases one's risk of developing C. difficile infection. Treatment of C. difficile involves discontinuing the previous antibiotic and giving specific antibiotics that kill C. difficile. Antibiotics effective against C. difficile include vancomycin (taken orally) and metronidazole. Hope that helped!
DIFF is short for Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive bacteria that causes severe diarrhea and other intestinal problems. It is common with older people who spend a lot of time in the hospital on antibiotics.
Yes. Staphylococci are classified as gram positive bacteria and appear as purple spheres when Gram stained.
