Penicillin is an antibiotic drug that contains a beta-lactam ring in its chemical structure. This ring is essential for penicillin's antimicrobial activity as it interferes with the formation of bacterial cell walls, ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria. Penicillin is effective against a wide range of bacteria, making it one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics.
