Are gram-positive bacteria immune to antibiotics?

0

Any bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics, but different antibiotics work in different ways. Some attack cell walls, some affect ribosome activity. Antibiotics for gram-positive bacteria (that attack the peptidoglycan) will generally not be effective on gram-negative, because the gram-negative have an additional lipopolysaccharide outer membrane the gram-positive lack.
