Why doesn't penicillin work on all bacteria?
Penicillin is effective against bacteria that have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan. Bacteria without this type of cell wall, such as Mycoplasma and some strains of Staphylococcus, are not affected by penicillin. This is because penicillin works by disrupting the formation of the cell wall, leading to the bacteria's death.
Would penicillin be very effective against Mycoplasma?
No- because penicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis and Mycoplasmas don't have a cell wall.
Why doesn't penicillin kill fungal disease?
Penicillin kills susceptible bacteria by interfering with the bacterial cell wall. Since fungi don't have a cell wall, penicillin can't eliminate fungal infection.
What is the organelle that directs a cell's activities?
