Does penicillin have bacteria?
it is grown from bacteria
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.

Can you eradicate the strep throat causing bacteria?
Man is the only known reservoir for strep throat causing bacteria. These bacteria are universally sensitive to penicillin. The persons, who are allergic to penicillin can be given clarithromycin or azithromycin. You can simultaneously treat the whole population to eradicate the bacteria. You have experience of eradication of smallpox and polio. With such ideal conditions, you can eradicate the all the strains of group A beta hemolytic streptococci or streptococcus pyogenes, probably.
What growth phase will gram - positive bacteria be most susceptible to penicillin?
Bacteria are most sensitive to antibiotics during the exponential stage (rapid growth).
Does augmentin have penicillian in it?
Augmentin is in the penicillin family and can cause reactions to people who are sensitive to penicillin. If you are allergic to penicillin, you should not take Augmentin.
Does penicillin kill fungus-caused diseases?

Is penicillin isolated with bacteria?

What do Penicillin's do?
Penicillin is an antibiotic. Penicillin is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria, such as ear infections prescribed by doctors for bacterial infections in woundsDestroys the cell walls of the bacteria allowing the bacteria's cytoplasm to exit the cell as well as allowing water and ions to enter, causing apoptosis of the bacteria.
If gram positive bacteria are incubated with penicillin in an isotonic solution will it able to grow or lysed explain why?
the bacteria can still grow in an isotonic solution with penicillin present.
