Whakaihu Waka researchers have been part of two studies in the battle against drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the cause of tuberculosis.

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.

Bacteria with thick peptidoglycan are called gram positive. If the peptidoglycan layer is thin, it's classified as gram negative. A gram-positive bacillus doesn't have an outer cell wall beyond ...

The present report deals with the in vitro anti-microbial activity of novobiocin and its efficacy in the treatment of a variety of surgical infections due to staphylococci and other gram-positive ...

Here’s how it works. Most species of bacteria can be broadly divided into two groups, known as gram-positive and gram-negative. These categories reflect big differences in the microbes' biology ...

[Related: These flesh-eating bacteria are finding new beaches to call home.] GmPcides work by targeting gram-positive bacteria. These types of bacteria can cause various drug-resistant staph ...

A team led by Paul Hergenrother at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has discovered a new antibiotic that exclusively targets gram-negative bacteria and avoids wiping out the ecosystem ...
