How can you use “gram-positive” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Although the ratio of Gram-positive cocci to Gram-negative rods isolated from all catheters was approximately 1, the ratio increased approximately three fold in CRI.
A second distinct difference between the arsC and 16s rRNA trees is the tight grouping of the Cyanobacteria with the arsC sequences from Low GC Gram-positive Bacteria.
Gram-positive cocci, particularly coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) and S. aureus , are responsible for at least two-thirds of the CRI [ 12 20 ] . Glycopeptide antibiotics are active against Staphylococci, including methicillin resistant isolates, which was also the most frequently isolated organism in our study.
E. coli and Legionella pneumophila are the only two γ-proteobacteria that possess this protein, suggesting that they might have acquired RecT via a relatively recent horizontal transfer from Gram-positive bacteria.
The 16S rRNA based phylogenetic tree (Figure 1) generally matched the accepted 16S rRNA model with clear separation of the two prokaryotic domains and the subsequent divergence of Eukarya (represented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) from Archaea [ 31 ] . Minor inconsistencies such as Ralstonia solanacearum (β-Proteobacteria) forming a deep branch within the γ-Proteobacteria, or Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fusobacteria) and Leptospira interrogans (Spirochetes) grouping loosely with the Gram-positive Bacteria are likely the result of the limited data set used (they were the only representatives of their respective phyla that had listed arsC genes) and do not challenge established relationships.
