ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
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, C, G, H, L and M) and pneumococci.
Other organisms
susceptible in vitro to penicillin G are Neisseria gonorrhoeae,
Corynebacterium diphtheriae,
Bacillus anthracis, Clostridia, Actinomyces bovis, Streptobacillus
moniliformis, Listeria
monocytogenes, and Leptospira; Treponema pallidum is extremely
susceptible. Some species of
gram-negative bacilli are susceptible to moderate to high
concentrations of penicillin G obtained
with intravenous administration. These include most strains of
Escherichia coli, all strains of
Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, and Shigella; and some strains of
Enterobacter aerogenes
(formerly Aerobacter aerogenes) and Alcaligenes faecalis.
Aqueous penicillin G is rapidly absorbed following both intramuscular
and subcutaneous
injection. Approximately 60 percent of a total dose of 300 000 units
is excreted in the urine
within the first five-hour period. Therefore, high and frequent doses
are required to maintain the
elevated serum levels desirable in tre
