Gram positive Bacteria

Gram Positive Bacteria Gram-positive organisms are the leading pathogens of humans, producing an estimated one-third of all bacterial infections. Treatment of Gram-positive infections with standard antibiotics has recently become problematic as many of these pathogens have developed antimicrobial resistance. In the food industry, Gram-positive bacteria are generally spread through cross contamination between people, however, antimicrobial-resistance in Gram-positive bacteria is reported with increasing frequency in strains isolated from food animals. This increase constitutes a potential risk that resistant strains or resistant genes might spread to humans via the food chain. Foods frequently involved in foodborne intoxications caused by Gram-positive bacteria include meat, poultry, eggs, fish, and dairy products. This rising occurrence of drug resistance in these bacteria combined with their prevalence of infection has created the need for quick and efficient methods for identifying the gram-positive bacteria down to the strain level.
