How is penicilli used?

Penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It works by targeting the bacterial cell wall, causing the cells to rupture and die. Commonly prescribed for infections such as strep throat, pneumonia, and skin infections, penicillin is effective against various gram-positive bacteria. However, its use is limited by the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains and allergies in some patients.
