The correct answer is "maybe". Amoxicillan is effective against only certain varieties of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The intestinal infection may be due to a bacteria against which this antibiotic is not effective. A single antibiotic is never used to combat helibactor plylori infections. Three antibiotics are used at the same time.
Clarithromycin isn't the treatment of choice for any STD. However, it would effectively prevent most cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, or nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). But not all.
Antibiotics, including clarithromycin, have no effect on viruses and therefore cannot prevent herpes, HPV, or HIV.
Borrelia is neither gram negative nor gram positive, but in the past, it was mistakenly thought to be gram negaive. Some old publications out there still call it gram negative (incorrectly). Here is a good biological description.

Bartonella has been known to cause skin lesions. Have you been tested at IGeneX for it? You might want to get tested for both b.henselae and b.quintana (I don't know who offers tests b.quintana.
Hi just want to clarify this GRAM POSITIVE COCCI IN SHOST CHAINS
(BOTH INTRACELLULAR AND EXTRACELLULAR) 4+ MANNER OF REPORT MANY..I AM SO CURIOUS AND LITTLE NERVOUS OF THIS.THANK YOU...
I have had an HIV,syphilis,HSV 1 and HSV 2 gon., and chlamydia test done probably 6 weeks post exposure and all were negative. Sorry I just said "all tests were negative". My only concern was that if i was exposed to syphilis during the oral exposure and gave it to my partner even with the antibiotic treatment I was on(clarithromycin then doxycycline) and essentially that could have been what the lesion was on her rectum. However I assume those odds are very very low.
Gram negative diploccoci typically means gonorrhea but should be confirmed with a urine test or culture. There are other Gram neg diploccoci out there as well.
It's impossible to tell who carrried the STD first unless your wife can prove she did not have any sexual encounters. However, how would you know 100% that's the truth?
It's unlikely that you would carry a gonorrhea infection for that long without knowing, but it's possible. You could have been asymptematic.
hi doc. today i got my test result. gram postive and gram negative were found in swab test. gonorrhea and chlamydia are both negative.
since i had read a lot on the forum before i went to the test, i know the proper treatment for ngu is doxicycline or azithromynthin. but my doctor insisted on cefixime for ngu when i told him what i heard about on the internet.
so my question:
is cefixime effective against ngu, specifically gram negative and gram positive in my case?
So, had brief encounter with sex worker. I am a male and she a female, just for clarity and accuracy of response though I'm confident that this is irrelevant. In any case, I received oral sex lasting only a couple minutes then shortly after completed with handjob. Anyway, that night I had extreme regrets as this not something I regularly do, only once before. So in my anxious state, I thought it best to be proactive and see if I could prevent any full infection from developing.
t even look at my scalp and prescribed me with doxycycline for a whole year 2 pills a day, but after being on the antibiotic I think I have developed gram-negative folliculitus which cause large pimples to appear on my nose ( boils in other words). I know that I should stop taking the antibiotics to stop the gram-negative folliculitus but this time around the folliculitus on my scalp has become itchy and painful.
63rd Day Combo test- Non Reactive (3 days before this test I took a 2 day course of clarithromycin 500 mg for my throat infection) Q1. Will clarithromycin affect my hiv tests? Q2. Are my test conclusive? Q3.
about 2 months ago i had an encounter with a csw, portected oral and intercours, a week later and a huge amount of guilt later , i went to the gum clinic where they took a urine sample and done a gram stain test.
really no reason to think you have a std since so far all your testing is negative and you had such a low risk encounter too. a gram stain doesn't really look for specific std's either, it just reports on abnormal cells present.
at this point, be seen by an urologist for further work up. make sure they examine your prostate too when you are seen.
