In gram positive bacteria, a thick cell wall is present.
00:10
This thick cell wall is made up of peptidoglycans.
00:14
Secondly, they retain the gram positive stain of crystal violet.

They have antibiotic susceptibility.
00:41
Antibiotic susceptibility.
00:43
This means that they are susceptible to antibiotics that target peptidoglycans in the cell wall.
00:57
So what will these antibiotics do is that they will restrict or they will stop these bacteria from making or sustaining the cell wall, thus killing them off, such as penicillin.
01:09
Next, we have the toxin production.
01:16
These gram positive bacteria produce toxins which lead to diseases like staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus myogens.
01:40
They may also cause toxic shock syndrome.
01:46
Then we can look at the pathogenicity of these bacteria...
