What bacterial infections does penicillin cure?

Answer 1

Penicillen is an antibiotic. This means it can only kills bacteria . It would be ineffective if you had a virus, like a cold or influenza. However, penicillen is only effective on organisms that have cell walls, as this it's their target. Luckily, this is the case for most bacteria.

Penicillen is normally prescribed by your doctor.

Answer 2

Penicillin cures Syphilis

It does cure syphilis but you need to include that it used to cure gonorrhoea also.

Yes, penicillin does have relevance in the control of STD's however the importance of penicillin goes far beyond that. Penicillin and its derivatives, are used against many susceptible organisms. Penicillins interfere with the synthesis of cell wall mucopeptides, resulting in the forming of defective cell walls that will breakdown and eventually result in death of the organism.

Staphylococci, streptococci, enterococci, diphtheriae, B. anthracis and E. rhusiopathiae.

The list is extensive.
