History Of Medicine: The discovery of penicillin was perhaps one of the most revolutionary events in the history of medicine—from two points of view. First, it was a drug relatively nontoxic to man (except, of course, in those cases where a person is allergic to the drug) but a highly potent bactericide. Second, this serendipitous event resulted in the establishment of a new field of chemotherapeutic investigation—antibiotics research—and the floodgate was opened. Today's medicine cabinet contains literally hundreds of antibiotics of various sources, potencies, and ranges of bactericidal activity.
