Penicillin
Are antibiotics that stop and kill bacteria that are produced from the cell wall. It is effective against pathogenic bacteria such as pneumococcus, nodules, staphylococci, meninges and others.
Symptoms of allergic reactions to penicillin
There are people who are allergic to penicillin, the most important genetic factors that show symptoms only when taking penicillin and show these symptoms in the following forms :
- Apparent skin rash.
- Itching around the body.

Patients should take an antidepressant or leave penicillin to consult a doctor for such cases and replace it with another treatment with the same drug effectiveness but no side effects, and those who suffer from hypersensitivity while taking penicillin, which we mentioned earlier, they should go to the hospital where the patient is injected (Adrenaline).
It is worth mentioning that there are some bacteria capable of making enzymes disrupting the work of penicillin.
The first to discover penicillin
The first to discover penicillin was the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming in 1928, where he tested for a cure for infections and wounds. He also discovered that antiseptics and drugs given to patients hurt cells more than wounds. The cells of the body and do not cause any harm at the same time, he did the work of an experiment is to do a farm bacteria and display to the air Vtafnt concluded that the bacteria melt around the fungi and excrete material around it and this article works to kill the cluster bacteria, and that the mold produces germicide but does not cause (Penicillin), followed by Ernest Chin and Howard Fleury in the study of the penicillin molecule, where they shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Physiology.
How to take penicillin
Oral penicillin is given in some cases and by injection in other cases when it is difficult for antibiotics to kill bacteria for the production of enzymes resistant to these antibiotics, and that oral intake has symptoms that cause acidity in the stomach and other, so prefer to be taken by injection.
The first person to use penicillin was the Englizer, who was poisoned by blood but died of lack of sufficient penicillin.
