It helped soldiers fight infection during the war. The wounds they would acquire would be life threatening if penicillin and various other anti biotics were not around. Even after the wound was cleaned the chance of infection spreading throughout the body was very high and killed many soldiers. Penicillin was very affective during the war and saved many lives.
While it became available late in the war, it was a godsend.
I just offered the view that it saved many, many lives. Twice as many die in WW2 but for its discovery. Can anyone offer verification of this statement ?
It did save many people but i was a little late because they tested on mice 8 mice were left those were the ones who took the penicillin also it influece the war nd affect d-day :D thnks i done new
Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, ten years after the end of World War I.
It has saved many peoples lives in WW2 and after
effect of penicillin and blood pressure medicine
No. Penicillin will have no effect at all on a viral infection.
I think it may vary person to person, but a headache is a side effect for me when I am on Penicillin
No, penicillin does not have a negative effect on the urine canal.
Drinking alcohol can reduce the theraputic effectiveness of an antibiotic such as penicillin.

What is the effect of penicillinase and penicillin acylase on the drug.
penicillin destroys the cell wall on prokaryotic cells no effects on animal cells since they don't have a cell wall but might have an effect on plant cells
No. An antibiotic does not normally have any effect similar to that of barbituates (which are depressants).
No
I would talk with your doctor, but my Grandma could not!No, amoxicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin category. You'll have the same "allergic" effect than if you were taking penicillin V, as an example.
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.
