Title: Re: Penicillin does not directly kill bacteria. Why do cells usually die in the pres Post by: bolbol on Jan 19, 2022 Without a cell wall, a bacterial cell is vulnerable to outside water and molecular pressures, which causes the cell to quickly die. Since human cells do not contain a cell wall, penicillin treatment results in bacterial cell death without affecting human cells.
