Why gram positive bacteria typically more resistant that gram negative bacteria to antibiotics that disrupt plasma membranes such as polymyxin B?
Gram positive bacteria have a thicker peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall, which provides an additional barrier against antibiotics like polymyxin B that target the plasma membrane. The lipopolysaccharide outer membrane of gram negative bacteria can impede the entry of certain antibiotics, making them less susceptible to these types of drugs compared to gram positive bacteria.
