Description

Potassium Benzylpenicillin is the potassium salt form of penicillin G, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. Penicillin G potassium binds to penicillin binding proteins (PBP), the enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of peptidoglycan, which is a critical component of the bacterial cell wall.

This leads to the interruption of cell wall synthesis, consequently leading to bacterial cell growth inhibition and cell lysis.
