These bacteria did not become antibiotic resistant until we overused antibiotics. This is one of my pet peeves. We selected for these 'bad bugs' in this way. The CDC says: Many public health organizations have described the rapid emergence of resistant bacteria as a “crisis” or “nightmare scenario” that could have “catastrophic consequences. We are just about back to where we were before the discovery of penicillin. And I remember those days.
Among gram-positive pathogens, a global pandemic of resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus species currently are the biggest threat.
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and the global spread of drug resistance among common respiratory pathogens, including Streptococcus penumoniae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is epidemic. And just what will we do with TB that doesn't respond to antibiotics.
endospore
AnswerYou can use a "selective" medium that will inhibit the growth of Gram positive bacteria and only allow Gram negative bacteria to multiply. A medium which is commonly used for this is the McConkey agar which contains a crystal violet strain and allows only Gram negative cultures to grow.You can also eliminate Gram positive bacteria with antibiotics (e.g. ampicillin) provided that they are sensitive and not resistant.
Kingdom Gram-Positive Bacteria is a kingdom within the domain Bacteria.
Bacillus and Clostridium are the two main groups of gram-positive bacteria that are capable of forming endospores. Endospores are dormant, resistant structures that allow these bacteria to survive in harsh environments.
Gram positive bacteria do not contain a protein sheath over their peptidoglycan membrane layer. Because of this, a gram negative bacteria's membrane (which contains a protein coating over the peptidoglycan) is more resistant to being penetrated by chemicals.
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.
Bacillus anthracis are rod shaped, gram positive bacteria. Their endospores are the infectious agents of anthrax. The infection is fatal in both animals and humans. The major symptoms are vomiting blood, respiratory collapse, severe diarrhea, skin lesions with boils, and acute inflammation.

Gram positive bacteria responds to the Gram stain; gram negative bacteria does not. The two bacteria do not respond to the same antibiotics. Right now the most dangerous bacteria is a gram negative bacteria. That could change.
There is no listing for bycobacteria. Mycobacterium are groups of bacteria that are responsible for conditions such as leprosy and tuberculosis. Mycobacterium are generally considered gram positive strains of bacteria.
Swallowing semen is not dangerous as long as you are positive your partner has no sexually transmittable diseases.
endospore
Gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall and an outer membrane, while gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer but lack an outer membrane. Gram-negative bacteria also have lipopolysaccharides in their outer membrane, which gram-positive bacteria do not have. Additionally, gram-negative bacteria are typically more resistant to antibiotics due to the presence of the outer membrane.

Beta-lactamase-positive bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase which can inactivate beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin, by breaking down the beta-lactam ring in the antibiotic molecule. This makes the bacteria resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics.
