Application

Penicillin G has been used to study penicillin-binding protein 2, and non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated from cases of pharyngitis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mode of Action: Penicillin G acts by inhibiting cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting peptidoglycan chain cross-linking.

Antimicrobial spectrum: This product is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Disclaimer

Solutions should be filter sterilized and stored at 2-8°C for 1 week or at -20°C for more lengthy periods. Solutions are stable at 37°C for 3 days. The sodium salt is soluble in H2O at 100 mg/mL.

General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam
Penicillin G is a narrow spectrum natural antibiotic. It is effective against Streptococcus pneumoniae, groups A, B, C and G streptococci, nonenterococcal group D streptococci, viridans group streptococci, and non-penicillinase producing staphylococcus.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Product contains Penicillin.

Twenty-four strains of non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae biotype gravis from the throats of patients with pharyngitis/tonsillitis were assayed for susceptibility to penicillin and erythromycin using determination of MIC, MBC and time-kill curves. There were no differences between the MICs of penicillin
