There are 2 basic starting points: a newly discovered natural antibiotic (typically excreted by a fungus or a plant) or an existing antibiotic. In the first case the process starts by figuring out how to produce it in quantity and purify it. In the second case an organic chemist studies the structure of the antibiotic and proposes a list of possible chemical changes that might improve its effect or reduce side effects. In both cases a series of tests begin both in vitro and in vivo to make sure it is safe and effective.

How are medical interventions developed and tested?
Medical interventions are developed and tested in many laboratory tests. Years of diagnostic measures are taken in order to make sure the inventions are suitable for the medical community.
When were antibiotics against TB discovered?
Streptomycin was developed in the early 1940s and was the first antibiotic effective against the disease.
How do antibiotics treat viral infections?
They don't. Antibiotics are targetted at bacteria. There are also antifungals and a very few, quite new, not 100% effective anti-virals.
Why is mutation in pathogens problematic?
It creates new stains that people have no immunity to or are resistant to antibiotics.

Antibiotics were developed in the 1920s and later commercialized in the 1940s.
What New Mexico town was the site where the Manhattan Project was developed?
Answer: Los Alamos. Also, it was tested at White Sands.
Have the Netherlands tested nuclear weapons?
No. The Netherlands have not tested or developed nuclear weapons.
How are antibiotics tested?
Using animal testing and also using human cells xx
When was central locking developed?
Yes safety and E-tested
How did improving treatment of patients with antibiotics lead to new problem?
Overuse of antibiotics has caused a serious problem in terms of human health. Bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics, and ones which were once easily treatable are extremely difficult to treat. Some of these resistant bacteria are causing deaths which would have once been preventable.
Why are some bacteria and microorganisms referred to as superbugs?
Because they have developed resistance to antibiotics.
Can you get chlamydia if you were taking amoxicillin when you were exposed?
Possibly. If you were exposed to chlamydia, you should get tested, even if you were on antibiotics at the time.
How are medical interventions developed and tested?
Medical interventions are developed and tested in many laboratory tests. Years of diagnostic measures are taken in order to make sure the inventions are suitable for the medical community.
Were antibiotics available to treat Typhoid Fever in 1910?
Of course not. Antibiotics weren't developed until the mid-1940's, 30 years later.
Why are super bugs a problem?
Super bugs refer to bacteria that have developed resistance to the usual antibiotics that are used to kill them. The fear is that there will eventually be no antibiotics that are available to treat them.
When was the first atomic bomb tested in New Mexico desert?
I believe it was Los Alamos Los Alamos was a town, it still is, no city developed the atomic bomb, it was a group of scientists that developed it.
