Background	Bacteria cells are classified as Gram-positive if they retain a crystal violet dye during the Gram stain process. Gram-positive bacteria appear blue or violet under a microscope after the stain has been applied, whereas Gram-negative bacterial look red or pink. This difference in color is mainly due to the characteristics of the cell wall. Gram-positive bacteria generally have a thicker layer of peptidoglycan, a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a homogeneous layer outside the plasma membrane. Gram-positive bacteria also have two rings supporting any flagellum and teichoic acids in the cell wall that function as as chelating agents and aid in adherence. Major groups of Gram-positive bacteria include the genera Bacillus, Listeria, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus and Clostridium, as well as the phylum Actinobacteria. Gram-positive bacteria markers comprise a variety of proteins present on Gram-positive cells, and can aid in the study of function and behavior of this type of bacteria.
