Does penicillin kill gram negative or gram positive or both?

Penicillin primarily targets and is more effective against gram-positive bacteria by disrupting their cell wall synthesis. It is less effective against gram-negative bacteria due to the presence of an outer membrane that restricts penicillin's access to the cell wall.


Which is more sensitive to penicillin gram posite or gram negative?

Gram-positive bacteria are generally more sensitive to penicillin compared to gram-negative bacteria. This is because gram-positive bacteria have a thinner cell wall that is easier for penicillin to penetrate and disrupt, leading to cell death. Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that provides some protection against penicillin, making them less susceptible.


Which are more sensitive to penicllin?

Gram-positive bacteria are generally more sensitive to penicillin than Gram-negative bacteria. This is because the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is more susceptible to the action of penicillin, while Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that provides some protection against the antibiotic.


The effect of ampicillin chloramphenicol erythromycin methicillin penicillin streptomycin sulphafurazole tetracycline on staphylococcus albus pseudomonas fluorescents micrococcus luteus baci?

Ampicillin, erythromycin, penicillin, and methicillin are effective against Staphylococcus albus but not against Pseudomonas fluorescens. Chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and streptomycin are effective against Pseudomonas fluorescens. Chloramphenicol and erythromycin are effective against Micrococcus luteus. Tetracycline is effective against Bacillus sp., including Bacillus subtilis. Sulphafurazole is effective against many gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas fluorescens.


Does streptomycin kill gram negative bacteria?

Yes, streptomycin is effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacterial cells, leading to their death.

Why cant penicillin be used to cure every infection?

Penicillin is effective against gram positive and negative coccus types of bacteria and gram positive bacillus types of bacteria only. So it does not cover all the infections. Now a days many bacteria has developed resistance to it.


What is a narrow spectrum antibiotic effective against?

Narrow spectrum antibiotics are effective against just gram positive bacteria, just gram negative bacteria, or only a few specified species. Examples include: penicillin G, gentamicin, clindamycin, and gentamicin.

Why are Gram-positive bacteria more susceptible to the effects of penicillin than Gram-negative bacteria?

Penicillins have a bacteriocidal effect on Gram-positive bacteria. In Gram-positive cells, peptidoglycan makes up as much as 90% of the thick, compact cell wall, and is the outermost layer. Penicillins are not effective against Gram-negative bacteria, which have cell walls in which peptidoglycan is not the outermost layer, but that lies between the plasma membrane and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) outer membrane. Penicillin cannot access the peptidoglycan of Gram-negative cells.
