    Have you ever wondered why only certain antibiotics work for certain infections? This article describes the difference between gram positive and gram negative bacteria and why your doctor will select certain antibiotics to treat an infection.

    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. They release different toxins and affect the body in different ways.

    That is actually super interesting information! I'll have to study it further and over time to truly understand and elaborate on everything in that article.

    I thought it was interesting too. I've been given both gram positive and gram negative antibiotics at the same time to fight an infection. One antibiotic was supposed to offset the other in terms of side affects and working together for a better recovery result. The only result I had is I lost weight pretty fast because I didn't want to eat.
