Penicillin was indirectly responsible for a rise in population. It is important to be clear that penicillin did not cause more people to be born (causing a rise in population), it did however prevent many people from dying from what were common causes of death. As a result, more people were living longer, whilst people continued to be born at the same rate. Over time this caused an increase in population amongst places were penicillin was used.
