General Description
- Penicillin G sodium salt is the sodium salt of benzylpenicillin, a broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic with gram-positive and gram-negative bactericidal activity
- Penicillin G binds and inactivates penicillin-binding-proteins associated with the bacterial cell wall, thus inhibiting cell wall synthesis and resulting in cell lysis
Applications
- Penicillin G can be used as a selection agent in the isolation of microorganisms or in cell culture applications
- It can also be used to prevent infection in research animals
