Does penicillin capsules work for human infections?
Penicillin is not a broad spectrum antibiotic like chloramphenicol or the tetracycline. In fact the penicillin is a narrow spectrum antibiotic. It kills the gram positive and gram negative cocci and gram positive bacilli only. Now a days many bacteria has become resistant to penicillin.
Why are Gram-positive bacteria more susceptible to the effects of penicillin than Gram-negative bacteria?
Penicillins have a bacteriocidal effect on Gram-positive bacteria. In Gram-positive cells, peptidoglycan makes up as much as 90% of the thick, compact cell wall, and is the outermost layer. Penicillins are not effective against Gram-negative bacteria, which have cell walls in which peptidoglycan is not the outermost layer, but that lies between the plasma membrane and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) outer membrane. Penicillin cannot access the peptidoglycan of Gram-negative cells.
Gram negative bacteria are much more resistant to penicillin because?
Peptidoglycan in Gram-negative bacteria is inaccessible to penicillins because penicillin cannot penetrate the Gram-negative outer membrane.
