Penicillin is an antibiotic of the β-lactam class. It works by interfering with the formation of bacteria’s cell wall while it is growing. This weakens the cell wall and kills the bacteria. Penicillin G is active against gram-positive and limited number of gram-negative bacteria. Neomycin is an antibiotic from the aminoglycoside group with bactericidal activity. It is protein synthesis inhibitor. Neomycin has excellent activity against gram-negative bacteria, and has partial activity against gram-positive bacteria.
