  • Introduction
    • Definition
      • gram-positive bacteria stain purple on a gram-stain test
        • the bacterial cell wall of these organisms have thick peptidoglycan layers, which take up the purple/violet stain
    • Treatment
      • gram-positive bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics that target the cell wall, as they often lack an outer membrane
        • penicillins
        • vancomycin
        • carbapenem
        • daptomycin
      • other antibiotics used include
        • linezolid
        • clindamycin
