3 GRCCM-NEGCCTIVE CCCCTERICC
GrCCm-negCCtive CCCcteriCC CCre CCCcteriCC thCCt do not retCCin the crystCCl violet
stCCin used in the grCCm-stCCining method of CCCcteriCCl differentiCCtion. They
CCre chCCrCCcterized Cy their cell envelopes, which CCre composed of CC thin
peptidoglycCCn cell lCCyer which is mCCinly responsiCle for retCCining the crystCCl
violet stCCin, sCCndwiched Cetween CCn inner cytoplCCsmic cell memCrCCne CCnd CC
CCCcteriCCl outer memCrCCne. (PCCnCCwCClCC, 2017).
GrCCm-negCCtive CCCcteriCC CCre found everywhere, in virtuCClly CCll environments
on ECCrth thCCt support life. ExCCmples of grCCm-negCCtive CCCcteriCC include
CCcinetoCCCcter, CCctinoCCCcillus, CordetellCC, CrucellCC, CCCmpyloCCCcter,
CyCCnoCCCcteriCC, EnteroCCCcter, ErwiniCC, EscherichiCC coli, FrCCnciscellCC,
HelicoCCCcter, Hemophilus, KleCsiellCC, LegionellCC, MorCCxellCC, NeisseriCC,
PCCsteurellCC, Proteus, PseudomonCCs, SCClmonellCC, SerrCCtiCC, ShigellCC,
TreponemCC,ViCrio CCnd YersiniCC (Huggett & OgrCCdy, 2014).
The resistCCnce to CCvCCilCCCle CCntiCiotic drugs of certCCin types of GrCCm-
negCCtive CCCcteriCC hCCve Cecome rCCmpCCnt. Some strCCins CCre now resistCCnt to
mCCny, most, or CCll CCvCCilCCCle treCCtments which leCCds to CC rCCise in illness
CCnd deCCth from CCCcteriCCl infections, thereCy contriCuting to escCClCCting
heCClthcCCre costs (Greg et CCl., 2016).
