Benzylpenicillin is active against:
    gram-positive bacteria, such as staphylococci, streptococci, enterococci, diphtheria corynebacteria, listeria, clostridia, anaerobic spore-forming bacillus of the genus Bacillus;
    Gram-negative bacteria: gonococci, meningococci, actinomycetes, spirochetes.
The antibiotic does not have antibacterial activity and is not used to treat diseases caused by:
    viruses;
    Mycobacterium tuberculosis;
    the simplest;
    rickettsia;
    mushrooms;
    other gram-negative microorganisms;
    strains producing penicillinase.
The mechanism of action is based on the inhibition of a specific enzyme that participates in the formation of the main structural component of the cell wall. As a result, the strength of the cell wall is broken, and pathogenic bacteria are destroyed.
The disadvantages of benzylpenicillin are:
    instability to penicillinases;
    slight digestion in the stomach;
    low efficiency against many gram-negative pathogens.
In medical practice, highly soluble salts of benzylpenicillin are used: potassium and sodium. However, in view of the short duration of their action, prolonged forms in the form of poorly soluble salts are also used. These are benzathine benzylpenicillin and benzylpenicillin novocaine salt.
Bicillin-3 is a combination of 3 salts of benzylpenicillin: benzathine benzylpenicillin, benzylpenicillin sodium and novocainic salt. Due to poor dissolution of salts, a depot is created at the injection site, which reduces the frequency of injections and maintains the concentration of the antibiotic in the blood at the right level.
The main condition for prescribing Bicillins is the need to maintain effective concentrations of the antibiotic in the blood over a long period. They are prescribed for syphilis and other infections caused by treponema, streptococcal infections, such as inflammation of the tonsils, scarlet fever, infected wounds, erysipelas, rheumatism, leishmaniasis.

    for the prevention of the development of fungal infections, taking vitamin C and group B is recommended, nystatin or levorin is sometimes indicated;
    the use of insufficient doses or cessation of therapy before the recommended course leads to the formation of resistant strains of microorganisms;
