What is the difference between ciprofloxacn and penicillin?

ciprofloxacin is a class of antibiotic that works by a different mechanism to kill bacteria than penicillin. penicillin works by preventing bacteria that have a compound called peptidoglycan in their cell wall from completely forming. the penicillin binds to a certain amino acid sequence in the peptidoglycan and prevents the bacterial cell from completely forming the cell wall which causes the bacterial cell to have structural instability, causing cellular death. ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone type of antibiotic that interferes with the synthesis of bacterial DNA by preventing the function of a certain enzyme which kills the bacterial cell by preventing its replication process.
