PENICILLIN Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Penicillin is a group of antibiotics derived from Penicillium fungi, used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to cell lysis and death. Penicillin is effective against many Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria. It is commonly used to treat infections such as strep throat, syphilis, and pneumonia. Allergic reactions to penicillin are relatively common and can range from mild rashes to severe anaphylaxis. Penicillin has played a crucial role in the development of modern medicine and the treatment of infectious diseases.
