Gram negative/positive bacteria

This combination of solid-phase peptide synthesis followed by TE-mediated macrocyclization mimics the function of NRPSs, in which a peptide chain is first elongated and then cleaved and often cyclized. The applicability of this approach for the discovery of NCEs is apparent established synthetic combinatorial methods could be employed in concert with the enzymatic machinery of the NRPS. In the case of the tyroddine A Ubrary, two analogs were discovered that displayed both improved antibiotic activity and a better in vitro therapeutic index (human erythrocytes vs. Gram positive/negative bacteria) relative to the parent tyroddine A. 

High-frequency conjugal plasmid transfer from gram-negative Escherichia coli to various gram-positive coryneform bacteria. J. Bacteriol, 172 (3), 1663-1666. 

To extend the vast flexibility of nature regarding PHA production, it was found that these materials are synthesized, not only by Gram-negative bacteria, but also in a number of Gram-positive countCTparts, bacteria, aerobic, anaerobic, photosynthetic bacteria, as well as in some archaebacteria [42,43]. 

GRAM-POSITIVE (NEGATIVE) Refers to a property of bacteria to accept and retain (or reject) a stain in the cell wall. Retention of the stain indicates the presence of certain cell wall structures, which serves to help identify the strain of bacteria. 

Through electron microscope examinations, LJP-1 originally appeared to be a co-culture of two heat-resistant bacteria, a rod and a coccus. It was purified to a single strain, the rod-shaped bacterium, by heat treatment at 82°C for 20 min. The bacterium was a gram-positive (negative in older cultures), non-motile, strictly anaerobic rod with heat-stable spores, identified as a Clostridium strain (8). 

Erythromycin is active against gram-positive and certain gram-negative bacteria, also against Rickettsia and spirochaetes. It is used for patients who are allergic to or do not respond to treatment with penicillins or tetracyclines. 

Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics. effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, also against Rickettsiae (typhus fever) and certain other organisms. 

Tetracyclines. The tetracycliaes are a small group of antibiotics characterized as containing a polyhydronaphthacene nucleus. Commercially the tetracyclines are very important. They have been used clinically against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, spirochete, mycoplasmas, and rickettsiae...
