No, the gecko should not have felt any pain in the loss of its tail. 
When a gecko feels threatened, or is grabbed by the tail, it will drop its tail as a defense mechanism (the tail will wiggle on the ground, and hopefully act as a distraction to the threat while the gecko makes its escape). This process is known as autotomy and is a defense mechanism possessed by several gecko species. The connective tissue of the tail is specially adapted to allow the tail to break off at determined fracture planes, these fracture planes are spaced along the length of the tail. 

When the tail (or part of the tail) is autotomized, the nerves go through a process called vasoconstriction- this process stops the blood flow to the open part of the tail, thereby preventing the wound from bleeding. The tail will grow back in time, however, it is unlikely to resemble the original

why are Gram-positive bacteria are more resistant than Gram-negative bacteria to antimicrobials that disrupt plasma membranes
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Gram positive bacteria are more resistant than gram negative bacteria to antimicrobials that disrupt plasma membranes because they have cell wall that is made up of a thick layer of peptidologlycan that contain teichoic and lipoteichoic acid to peptidoglycan.

Explanation:

Gram positive bacteria are bacteria that have thick wall made up of peptidoglycan and have no lipid membrane while gram negative bacteria are bacteria that have thin cell wall composed of peptidoglycan with lipid membrane.

Gram positive bacteria is resistant to antibiotics because of their thick cell wall composed of peptidoglylcan which contain teichoic and lipoteichoic acid , this help strengthen the plasma membranes and make them not to be attached by antimicrobial compared to gram negative that lack this.
