Benzylpenicillin has a bactericidal action against gram positive bacteria, gram negative cocci, some other gram negative cross-linking stage of peptidoglycan production through binding and inactivation of transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane thus inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It is inhibited by penicillinase and other β-lactamases.
