RE: The Dawn of the Antibiotic Era: The Penicillin Story and The Fleming Myth
I enjoyed reading your article , unfortunatly today many bacteria develop resistance to penicillin due to the overuse,, we have even noticed the emmergence of super multi_resistant bacteria to all known-antibotics ,, future is dark if we dont wake up soon
This is why we need to embrace personalized medicine, you can be out the lookout for my post about it in coming days. We need to find new systems of making drugs.
Yea, you are right about us embracing personalized medicine. The only challenge to this is organizing the vast information about genes which might also be hard to analysed. But the future is bright for personalized medicine.
Glad you enjoyed reading it
The most interesting about the penicillin story is that fleming also warned the medical field about the resistance problem, guess they turned deaf ears to it.
Yes we all need to wake up, we are the major cause of this problem. Am of the opinion if new antibiotics are produce this will not stop the challenge of resistance as the bacteria will keep evolving.
There is a need for the cooperation that existed during the pre-antibiotic era between nation and the medical field by preventing abuse of the use of antibiotics.
There are certain things which our immune system can fight off naturally without using antibiotics.
And there are several natural alternatives to antibiotics like the phytobiotics, probiotcs and prebiotics.
Thanks
