Gram-negative bacteria also have a tendency to rapidly acquire antibiotic resistance and can transmit resistance to other bacterial cells following exposure to antibiotics. For these reasons infections with Gram-negative bacteria may require combination therapy with structurally diverse antibiotic agents, ...
