The subject of first consideration will include not only new drugs but also new forms of old drugs, as well as old drugs. Beyond this, I shall confine my discussion to two main items, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and antibiotic toxicity.NEW ANTIBIOTICS, AND OLDErythromycin (Ilotycin,†Erythrocin,‡) presently holds first place of interest in the evaluation of new antibiotics. Its history is a matter of record.1Although it seems to be...Bibliography1.
