∙ 13y ago
Penicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic while streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.
Beta-lactams generally act by inhibiting transpeptidation of peptidoglycan synthesis in cell wall synthesis.
Aminoglycosides interact with the 30s ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis in the cell.
