many decadesago , sulfa drugs were used. more recently , some specific antibiotic was found to be 99 percent effective , at a cost of vague 25 cents us, per day. unfortunately,in India..., and parts of the 3rd world, that is a major problem. remember that India , mainland china, and Vietnam all had gross national products (GNP) , about ten years ago, which was under 300 dollars us. i.e, the late 1980s,early 1990s.
for a full , and fairly painless full one hour tv show on this subject, well, the pbs (American public broadcasting ) network had a one hour show on exactly this.
this was maybe , vaguely the year 2000 and something, and was one of the program series "frontline" offerings. video tapes were available for too many dollars, but... it was free ,when watched via vhf analog tv antennas, back then (before digital).
the hook was that merely taking the antibiotic for a week or so , instead of the required month or two , merely did evolutionary selection for antibiotic resistance in the infected patients, who had the disease reappear , and get harder to treat.
