Gram-positive bacteria show blue or purple after Gram-staining in a laboratory test. They have thick cell walls. Gram-negative bacteria show pink or red on staining and have thin walls. They release ...

The results of research led by scientists at Harvard Medical School suggest that a natural product antibiotic first isolated back in the 1940s may be effective against potentially lethal, multidrug ...

Wockhardt, a leading Indian pharmaceutical company has achieved a major breakthrough through the development of Zaynich as a new antibiotic. The new drug targets multi-drug-resistant (MDR) ...

Researchers have developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut ...

Gram staining is one way scientists can identify bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, appear blue or purple under a microscope when scientists apply a stain. Conversely, ...

There are many ways of classifying bacteria. One method is based on the cell membrane. In 1884, a bacteriologist named Christian Gram created a test that could determine if a bacterium had a thick, ...

There are two main types of bacteria, and these categories reflect the microbes' biology and their vulnerability to different antibiotics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
