The gram positiv bacteria can have up to 25 layers of peptidoglycane (Murein) and that’s why they’re easy to stain. The gram negativ bacteria only have a thin layer of Murein and an additional outer membrane that can selectively regulate the transport through the murein layers to the inner membrane. That’s why the most drugs with the murein as it’s target didn’t work on gram negative bacteria!
