37. Properties of penicillin :
ā¢ All penicillin has Beta lactam ring .
ā¢ Trans-peptidase or (penicillin-binding protein)
ā¢ Function : Synthesis of peptidoglycan layer .
ā¢ To be effective Penicillin must :
I. Penetrate cell layer
II. Keeps it beta lactam ring intact
III.Bind to Trans-peptidase .
BY : Abdullah Taskin 4th y.
38. How bacteria defended from penicillin ?
In three ways :
1) G. negatives prevent penetration of
cell layers by
alteration of porins.
2)G. negatives destroy beta-lactam in periplasmic space
.
3) Bacteria inhibit binding of B.lactam
to transpeptidase by altering structure of Trans-peptidase .
