The penicillins act by:
1. weakening the bacterial cell wall to the point that the cell ruptures and dies.
2. inhibiting protein synthesis and suppressing bacterial growth.
3. disrupting bacterial protein synthesis, destroying the bacterial cell.
4. disrupting biochemical reactions, resulting in the death of the cell.
Question 2
Which statement regarding the pharmacokinetics of penicillin G is correct?
1. Penicillin G is absorbed well when administered orally.
2. The absorption of intramuscular procaine and benzathine penicillin G occurs rapidly, producing high blood levels.
3. Inflammation increases the distribution of penicillin G into the joints and cerebrospinal fluid.
4. Penicillin G undergoes extensive metabolism in the liver before excretion by the kidneys.
