Key Features and Details
CAS Number: 69-57-8
| SKU | 02194537-CF |
| Alternate Names | Benzylpenicillin sodium salt |
| Application Notes | Penicillin G is a narrow spectrum antibiotic derived from Streptococcus pneumoniae. It has been used to study the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of gentamicin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis sequence type 6 with reduced penicillin susceptibility and in cell culture both alone and combined with streptomycin and other antibiotics. |
| Base Catalog Number | 194537 |
| Beilstein Registry Number | 3834217 |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | Mode of Action: The β-lactam moiety (functional group) of penicillin G binds to the enzyme (DD-transpeptidase) that links the peptidoglycan molecules in bacteria. The enzymes that hydrolyze the peptidoglycan cross-links continue to function, which weakens the cell wall of the bacterium, it causes cytolysis(death due to osmotic pressure) in Bactria. Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-positive bacteria. |
