Penicillin G is bactericidal against penicillin-susceptible microorganisms during the stage of active multiplication. It acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of cell-wall mucopeptide. It is not active against the penicillinase-producing bacteria, which include many strains of staphylococci. Penicillin G is highly active in vitro against staphylococci (except penicillinase-producing strains), streptococci (groups A, B, C, G, H, L and M), pneumococci and Nelsseriameningitidis.

Mechanism of Action
Penicillin G is bactericidal against penicillin-susceptible microorganisms during the stage of active multiplication. It acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of cell-wall mucopeptide. It is not active against the penicillinase-producing bacteria, which include many strains of staphylococci. Penicillin G is highly active in vitro against staphylococci (except penicillinase-producing strains), streptococci (groups A, B, C, G, H, L and M), pneumococci and Nelsseriameningitidis. Other organisms susceptible in vitro to penicillin G are Nelsseriagonorrhoeae, Corynebacteriumdiphtheriae, Bacillus anthracis, clostridia, Actinomycesspecies, Spirillum minus, Streptobacillusmonillformis, Listeria monocytogenes, and leptospira; Treponemapallidumis extremely susceptible.[1]
