What does penicillin do in the body?
Penicillin is an antibiotic that destroys Bacteria by destroying the cell wall of the microorganism. It does this by inactivating an enzyme necessary for the cross linking of bacterial cell walls. The enzyme is known as transpeptidase. It accepts the penicillin as a substrate, it then alkanolates nucleophilic oxygen of the enzyme, rendering it inactive. Cell wall construction stops and the bacteria soon die. The antibiotic nature of the penicillin is due to the strained b-lactam ring, on opening the ring strain is relieved this makes penicillin more reactive than ordinary amides Penicillin operates by dissolving the cell wall of bacteria, dispersing its cytoplasm and other cell systems. One essential component of the bacterial cell wall is transpeptidase, which accepts molecules of penicillin as a substrate attachment. The penicillin activates, preventing peptidoglycan reactions that strengthen links in the cell wall. This leads inevitably to cytolysis and cell death.

Is penicillin effective?
You need to be more specific in what you're asking. Is penicillin effective against *what*? There are several types of "cillins" and two major types of "Penicillins". They are mainly used for Group A strep infections, (strep throat, tonsillitis) pneumoccocal infections (pneumonia) , rheumatic fever and some other systemic (in the body) infections (such as gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases). Unfortunately, because people do not take their prescribed doses correctly and since doctors have been giving people antibiotics to people for colds and flu, which do not respond to antibiotics, a lot of the types of germs that ARE susceptible to antibiotics have become immune the "older" ones like penicillin. Now the phamaceutical companies have to come up with stronger, different types of antibiotics to kill these "super bugs" that have mutated and become resistant to drugs like penicillin. So...depending on what type of infection you have, penicillin may or may not be effective.
