It is of interest that our earliest specific remedies, quinine, mercury, antimony and the salvarsans, were effective chiefly in the larger infectious agents, the protozoa, the spirochetes. With the development of the sulfonamides the bacteria became vulnerable and in particular the gram positive bacteria and especially the coccal groups. The development of the antibiotics with penicillin in the forefront still further extended the field of specific medication without, however, showing much effect upon those diseases caused by the gram...Bibliography1.
