Gram Negative Bacteria
Gram negative bacteria are a type of microorganisms that can be harmful to humans and animals. These bacteria do not retain the crystal violet dye used in the Gram staining technique, which is why they are called “Gram negative”. Gram negative bacteria are important in several aspects, including the production of food, medicine and biodegradable plastics; the control of diseases; and the production of various surface disinfectants. They have also been used for bioconversion and bioremediation, as well as for the production of biofuel. Gram negative bacteria cause many different types of infections, including Listeriosis, Salmonellosis and E.Coli. Proper hygiene and sanitation practices can help to prevent the spread of Gram negative bacteria.
