Relate gram positive bacteria to bacteria pathogens |
|
Answer» Gram-positive BACTERIA are bacteria with thick cell walls. In a Gram stain test, these organisms yield a positive result. The test, which INVOLVES a chemical dye, stains the bacterium’s cell wall purple.Gram-negative bacteria, on the other hand, don’t hold the dye. They stain pink instead.Though both groups of bacteria can cause DISEASE, they require DIFFERENT TREATMENTS. If you have a bacterial infection, the Gram stain will determine what kind of medication you need. |
