History
It would be nice if the history of this article could be expanded, with its own subsection - OR to link to the article that describes the discovery. Right now we only have a single sentence here about the history, e. g. its discovery, but no link to the main article of how it was discovered - I came to this article here in order to read up from which species it was originally isolated, for instance. 2A02:8388:1604:CA80:F462:6A60:DEA:83A0 (talk) 13:19, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The Russian version of article is much more completed in the history part. AllexGER (talk) 13:55, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The statement that Alexander Fleming discovered benzylpenicillin is incorrect. The penicillin he discovered was penicillin F, which is no longer in current use. See Robinson FA (1947). "Chemistry of penicillin". Analyst. 72 (856): 274–6. doi:10.1039/an9477200274. PMID 20259048. Gak (talk) 10:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

IUPAC name
Should the IUPAC name not be (3S,5R,6R)-2,2-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-(2-phenylacetamido)-1-thia-4-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-3-carboxylic acid ? See https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Structures-of-b-lactam-antibiotics-with-positions-numbered_fig11_277601854

Fleming
Fleming did not discover benzylpenicillin (Penicillin G): he discovered penicillin F (which is named "F" for "Fleming"). --Gak (talk) 14:03, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
