Gram-positive bacteria are a major group of bacteria distinguished by a thick peptidoglycan cell wall that retains the crystal violet stain used in Gram staining, causing them to appear dark blue or purple under the microscope. This wall structure sets them apart from Gram-negative organisms and influences their susceptibility to antibiotics and disinfectants. The group includes clinically and industrially important genera such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and many others involved in human disease, food fermentation, and the production of natural products. Within the journal's clinical microbiology scope, research has addressed the identification and behaviour of Gram-positive organisms, including molecular confirmation of Staphylococcus strains isolated at a hospital and university centre in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, and a study of the response of Porphyromonas gingivalis to ultrasonication. Such work reflects core concerns of the field: accurate strain identification, the response of bacterial cells to physical and chemical treatments, and the laboratory characterisation of clinically relevant species. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to Gram-positive bacteria, supporting microbiologists, clinicians, and students working on bacterial identification, infection, and antimicrobial study.
