- Polymyxins are antibiotics that are used in the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. You are given samples of two different types of bacteria. You are told that Bacteria A is Gram-negative bacteria and Bacteria B is Gram-positive bacteria. Describe, in your own words, how you would confirm the bacterial types.arrow_forwardStudent J and K were arguing about viruses and bacteria. Student K said that it would be easy to tell viruses and bacteria apart by just growing them in a lab and looking at them under a microscope. Student J said there were major flaws in that idea. What are the flaws in Student K’s idea?arrow_forwardwhy are bacteria considered living organisms, while viruses are usually considered non living?arrow_forward
