Penicillin G and Penicillin V Clinical Uses

A
  • Penicillin G: IV form, acid labile
  • Penicillin V: oral form, acid stable
  • Bactericidal and requires actively growing organism
  • Mostly gram + (S. pneumonia, S. pyogenes, Actinomyces) and syphilis.
  • Bactericidal for gram + cocci, gram + rods, gram - cocci, and spirochetes

Q

Penicillin G and Penicillin V source and MOA

A
  • Natural penicillins produced by fungus
  • Beta lactam inhibits synth of crosslinks b/t disaccharide subunits of cell wall by binding transpeptidase
