Antibiotics are chemicals. Which inhibit the growth of certain kinds of
bacteria. Thus they help your body to fight disease.
Antibiotics are effective only in case of bacteria. They cannot cure Viral
disease
In the 1860's Louis Pasture showed that many diseases were caused by
bacteria. Later he discovered that we may be able to fight germs with other
microbes.
History
In 1890’s, Rudolf Emmerich & Oscar Low took the germs from
infected bandages and grew them in a test tube.
They would then isolate a bacteria called Bacillus pyocyaneus that
caused green infections in open wounds.
When they introduced this bacteria into another test tube. The
Bacillus pycyoneus wiped out the other disease pathogens that
cause cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, and anthrax.
From this, the two men created a medication that they called
Pyocyanase. It was the first antibiotic to be used in hospitals.
Unfortunately, it did not work the same on all patients. Some were
cured, and still some only became sicker. As a result, this drug was
abandoned.
In 1928, a research scientist by the name of Alexander
Fleming discovered Penicillin
He was studying a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus.
He was growing colonies of the germ in a petrii dish.
Fleming found a spot of green Penicillium fungus growing
in one of the dishes.This meant that the mold had killed
the bacteria that was there.
The chemical released by the fungus to kill the bacteria
was therefore named Penicillin.
After penicillin, came the invention of the sulfa drug. It
comes from Prontosil, which is a substance used as a dye.
When put into the body, Prontosil changes into and active
germ-killing drug called sulfonilamide. It has been proven
that this drug could cure pneumonia, scarlet fever, and
blood poisoning.
Doctor Selman Waksman, discovered a drug called
streptomycin. It originated from microbes found in soil and
was a cure for many intestinal diseases.
Aureomycin, is a drug that does the job of both penicillin
and stroptomycin..
Virus causes diseases like the
flu and the common cold. AIDS
and Some types of cancer may
also fall into this category.
Red / Blue Virus
Many research scientists have
tested anti-viral antibiotics.
They were able to slow the
growth of viruses in many
cases.
Scientist hope to develop
antibiotics to control viruses as
well as bacteria in humans.
