Mechanism of action:

Penicillin G exerts a bactericidal action against penicillin-susceptible microorganisms during the stage of active multiplication. It acts through the inhibition of biosynthesis of cell-wall mucopeptide. Penicillin G is active against many gram-positive and a limited number of gram-negative bacteria however not active against the penicillinase-producing bacteria.

The drug is distributed widely in the body tissues and highest levels are found in the kidneys with lower amounts in the liver, skin, and intestines. Penicillin G penetrates into all other tissues to a lesser degree at a very small level found in the cerebrospinal fluid. With normal kidney function, the drug is excreted rapidly by tubular excretion.
