New antibiotic targets only gram-negative bacteria, sparing the gut Paul Hergenrother’s lab discovered a compound that leaves commensal bacteria alone by Rowan Walrath May 29, 2024 ...

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that contain a thick cell wall. During the Gram staining process — a test that experts use to view the bacteria under a microscope — they appear purple or blue.

As gram positive bacteria lack an outer lipid membrane, when correctly referring to their structure rather than staining properties, are termed monoderms. The outer lipid membrane possessed by gram ...
