Q

penicillin action

A

weaken and destroy cell wall by inhibiting enzyme necessary for cell wall formation (transpeptidase) and activates autolysin which opens cell wall during replication. Since human cells dont have cell walls it does not effect human cells therefore is very safe. Works mostly on gram positives
