No- because penicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis and Mycoplasmas don't have a cell wall.

What group of antibiotics would mycoplasma be resistant to?
Mycoplasma lack cell walls. Therefore, any antibiotic that targets the cell wall of bacteria would be ineffective to mycoplasma. Examples are beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin. Beta-lactam antibiotics target the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an important component of the bacterial cell wall.
What would a doctor give you if you are allergic to penicillin?
Penicillin is a beta-lactam. Although beta-lactam antibiotics are wide-spectrum antibiotics, meaning they can be effective against a wide array of infections, there are other options in cases where it is not possible to administer beta-lactams. This is information I have gathered from other sources below.
What is the strongest form of penicillin?
Like most antibiotics, penicillin is very powerful against certain bacteria, and not powerful at all with other bacteria. Example: if I was careless enough to catch gonorrhoea, I would take penicillin in a heartbeat. If I had a urinary infection or lung infection, I would take Levaquin or Augmentin, but not penicillin.
What colour would you expect the mycoplasma to stain with gram reagents?
red
What is super effective to ghost?
Ghost and Dark moves would be super-effective against a ghost Pokemon.
Does levofloxacin contain penicillin and would a person have a reaction if they are allergic to penicillin?
no
What would you not use in treating a virus?
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, only against bacteria. Antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu are effective against most forms of H1N1 and many other flu viruses
How is penicillin removed from the blood?
Penicillin cannot be removed from the blood. You would just need to wait for the penicillin to pass through the system. Be careful if you are allergic to penicillin.
What moves are super effective against kingdra in Pokemon emerald?
See, electric type moves are effective against water Pokemon. Thunder or Thunderbolt are powerful attacks very effective against water Pokemon such as kingdra. ACTUALLY, since Kingdra is a dragon type too, electric type moves are just normally effective. Dragon type is super effective against Kingdra. But then Kingdra would be supereffective against you too!
What is the difference between penicillin used on humans versus animals?
The question is unclear and sounds like the outcome of penicillin for us to use against animal contamination, but if you mean what effect penicillin has on animals, it would depend on the biological makeup of the animal. As with humans, some of us have an allergy to penicillin and can become quite ill even thought it was made to help cure us against infection and disease. On the other hand, there have been reports of no effects of penicillin on both some humans and some animals. It would be logical to assume that some animals will suffer adverse effects of penicillin, but I would hope than any administration of such a drug is for their healing and not for testing. I am sure that many humans would be happy to be test dummies as we are the best candidates, especially if we know that animals were tested on and suffered for our own mortality and well being.
What are super affective to electric types?
I would use grass, ground or dragon types. Some aren't effective against electric type, but electric isn't very effective against them.
Which antibotic would be most effective in treating throat infection?
It would depend on the source of the infection. That is why we see a doctor and/or have a throat culture taken. If it is not a bacterial infection (virus or yeast) than an antibiotic would not help and treating with antibiotics will delay proper treatment and may allow the infection to progress to a more serious stage. If it is bacterial, penicillin is the usual antibiotic unless the patient has a penicillin allergy or the doctor knows that penicillin is not appropriate for that type of bacteria.
