Significance of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms
Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms are categories of bacteria differentiated by their cell wall structure, resulting in distinct staining properties during laboratory procedures. Gram-positive bacteria retain a purple color after staining, while Gram-negative bacteria appear pink. These classifications are crucial for evaluating the antimicrobial effectiveness of compounds, as demonstrated in studies where Swarnamakshika Bhasma showed efficacy against both staphylococcus aureus (a Gram-positive bacterium) and E. coli (a Gram-negative bacterium).

The concept of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms in scientific sources
The keyphrase "Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms" categorizes bacteria based on cell wall structure, identified through staining methods. In the study, Swarnamakshika Bhasma proved effective against both Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and E. coli (Gram-negative).
