In terms of differences, eukaryotic cells are much larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. On average, a typical eukaryotic cell is about 1,000 X larger in volume than a typical prokaryotic cell.
This means both drugs (amoxicillin and penicillin) can treat a wide variety of infections. However, unlike amoxicillin and penicillin, the routinely prescribed drug, metronidazole, has a more selective action towards anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria are the ones causing the signs and symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.
Its antibiotic qualiti â¦ es were discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming. Penicillin was commonly prescribed to take care of bacterial infections in humans and animals. Since bacterial strains mutate, it's not quite as effective as it was when it first came on the market in the 1930s.
