  1. gram-positive

    Gram-positive refers to a classification of bacteria that become blue or violet when subjected to Gram staining. This is due to the high amount of peptidoglycan in their cell walls, which retains the crystal violet dye used in the stain. Gram-positive bacteria include staphylococci, streptococci, and pneumococci, and they are generally more susceptible to antibiotics than gram-negative bacteria.
