Penicillin

Penicillin is an important antibiotic developed by Alexander Fleming in 1928. It is used to treat bacterial infections and save millions of lives. Penicillin belongs to the ?-lactam antibiotic family and has a unique mechanism of action, inhibiting the ability of bacteria to form new cell walls. This makes it effective against a wide range of bacterial pathogens and one of the most widely used antibiotics. Penicillin's ability to treat a broad range of bacterial infections has revolutionized the practice of medicine and significantly reduced morbidity and mortality around the world.
