Most species of bacteria can be broadly divided into two groups, known as gram-positive and gram-negative. These categories reflect big differences in the microbes' biology, and they also dictate ...
Gram-positive cocci are often isolated from clinical samples. It is important to be able to distinguish these organisms from one another because while some are normal flora, others can be pathogenic.
Peptide vaccines with epitopes specific to gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria could provide novel approaches to combat this infection. In the preclinical study titled “A Composite Peptide ...
