Bryn Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Also are there crosslinks inbetween pepdidoglycan layers in gram negative cell walls or is it just one layer thick (wondering why penicillin is not effect against gram negative bacteria).

Hades Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Also are there crosslinks inbetween pepdidoglycan layers in gram negative cell walls or is it just one layer thick (wondering why penicillin is not effect against gram negative bacteria). i am not sure but believe it is because the cell walls of a gram negative bacteria have more lipids in them, thus the penicillin has a more difficult time breaking down these compounds.

daisy Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 For cystic fibrosis patients Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes problems...I think they have problems with it because of their condition whereas we just live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
