Q

LO #6: describe the mechanism by which penicillin interacts with gram+ bacteria

A

Since bacteria needs to continuously rebuild their cell walls it means that is has weak moments. During cell wall formation, the cross linkages to connect the peptidoglycan to each other can be disturbed with penicillin which blocks its formation
