The penicillins are the most commonly used antibiotics in pediatrics and can be divided broadly into four different groups: (1) natural penicillins, (2) penicillinase-stable penicillins, (3) aminopenicillins, and (4) extended-spectrum penicillins.

Penicillin is still the most commonly reported drug class allergy. An oral amoxicillin challenge is the current reference standard test for verifying a clinically significant IgE-mediated penicillin allergy or a delayed onset T cell–mediated penicillin hypersensitivity. Only a small minority of individuals with a penicillin allergy history, less than 5%, will have a positive oral challenge reaction. The risk of avoiding penicillins is currently much greater than the risk of penicillin allergy testing. Penicillin skin testing, using the major determinant penicilloyl-polylysine, is done to reduce the risk of serious acute oral challenge reactions in individuals with a recent history of a possible IgE-mediated reaction to penicillin or any history of penicillin-associated anaphylaxis. Currently available in vitro tests are not clinically useful in evaluating penicillin allergy. Oral penicillin desensitization can be used to enable individuals with clinically significant IgE-mediated penicillin allergy to safely use a single course of therapeutic penicillin. Individuals with T cell–mediated hypersensitivity cannot be desensitized.

Penicillin is an antibiotic which doesnot allow the bacteria to multiply by avoiding them to build cell wall. it is synthesised by Penicillium.
hope it helps..
