Difference between Antibiotic and Gram-positive bacteria

Antibiotic vs. Gram-positive bacteria

An antibiotic (from ancient Greek αντιβιοτικά, antibiotiká), also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that give a positive result in the Gram stain test, which is traditionally used to quickly classify bacteria into two broad categories according to their cell wall.

Similarities between Antibiotic and Gram-positive bacteria

Antibiotic and Gram-positive bacteria have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bacteria, Bacteriophage, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Coccus, Gram-negative bacteria, Horizontal gene transfer, Plasmid, Spore, Staphylococcus aureus.

Bacteria

Bacteria (common noun bacteria, singular bacterium) is a type of biological cell.

Gram-negative bacteria

Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the gram-staining method of bacterial differentiation.

Horizontal gene transfer

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission of DNA from parent to offspring.

Plasmid

A plasmid is a small DNA molecule within a cell that is physically separated from a chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently.

Spore

In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions.

Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive, round-shaped bacterium that is a member of the Firmicutes, and it is a member of the normal flora of the body, frequently found in the nose, respiratory tract, and on the skin.
