Expert Solution

Step 1 Differences
Gram negative bacteria are surrounded by thin peptidoglycan cell wall , which itself is surrounded by an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. Gram positive bacteria lack an outer membrane but are surrounded by layers of peptidoglycan many times thicker than is found in the gram negatives.

Give an example of a strain of bacteria (Genus and species) that is now resistant to commonly used antibiotics (identify the specific antibiotic). Describe the physiological mechanism used by individual bacteria to resist the antibiotic listed in part “3” of this Thought Question. For example, the mechanism could be modification of drug, modification of target, prevention of drug penetration, overproduction of target, or target mimicry. (This means that you must choose a strain of bacteria that we know the characteristic of the bacteria that allows the bacteria to be resistant.)
