Is penicillin a bacteria?
Yes, penicillin prevents the formation of new bacterial cell wall. If a bacteria reproduces, new cell wall cannot be produced and the cell lyses and dies. However penicillin has no effect on a quiescent (non-reproducing) bacteria. Therefore penicillin is also called a bacteriostatic agent (prevents growth of bacteria), which means penicillin does stop bacteria from reproducing.

How does lactic acid keep food from spoiling?
The lactic acid is generally produced by members of the genus lactobacillus. These bacteria are generally harmless to humans. The acidic environment they create, however, harms other bacteria and prevents these potentially dangerous bacteria from growing. So, overall, the food that's being preserved will have predominantly only one type of bacteria in it, which is not harmful to humans.
