Gram-Positive Bacteria is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers bacteria whose own articles describe them as Gram-positive, such as the streptococci, bacilli, clostridia and lactobacilli. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that it is a Gram-positive bacterium. It excludes Gram-negative bacteria and species whose article gives no Gram stain. Members are placed by the classification their cited article gives, not by common name or appearance alone.
