Answer:
- Antibiotic is an antimicrobial substance active against bacteria and is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections. They are used in the treatment and prevention of such infections. They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.
- Penicillin affects cell wall formation in bacteria by binding to an enzyme called DD Transpeptidase and inhibiting its activity. Since human cells have no cell wall and don't have DD transpeptidase, there is nothing that penicillin can affect and cause harm. Hence human cells remain virtually unaffected by penicillin.
