Question 13 0/7.7 poin As we studied antibiotics, we were able to see that Penicillin is a drug that inhibits the gram positive cell from producing the peptidoglycan of the cell wall. We tested antibiotics for E. coli and Bacillus cereus. Penicillin worked against Bacillus but not E. coli - from what you know about Bacillus from lecture, would you expect Penicillin to be an effective drug against Clostridium tetani? Why? Penicillin should have worked with E. coli because it is gram positive like Bacillus Penicillin would not work because Bacillus and Clostridium are not the same genus There is no way to tell without testing Clostridium tetani. I would expect Penicillin to work because both of these are gram positive bacteria
