Without penicillin many wounded people would have died from infections. With it they did save many lived with the penicillin and sulfa drugs too. They also learned real fast that some people are fatally allergic to penicillin and they had to come up with a way to treat that problem.

Why is penicillin not effective anymore?

Penicillin does still work, just not as well. This is because the few germs that can survive the antibiotic will then pass on that capabaility to their progeny; the basics of genetics in action. This means that later generations of the same bacteria need more to kill them or, even worse, are entirely immune to the effect of penicillin. Some strains of bacteria have evolved to the point that they are not only unaffected by penicillin itself, but all drugs similar to penicillin (beta-lactams). One such strain is MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).


Is the penicillin in blue cheese an effective antibiotic?

The penicillin found in blue cheese is produced by the Penicillium mold, but it is typically present in very low concentrations and may not be effective as a treatment for infections. While penicillin is a well-known antibiotic, the specific strains and production methods in cheese do not provide sufficient potency to serve as a therapeutic antibiotic. Additionally, the presence of penicillin in cheese can vary widely, making it unreliable for medicinal use. Therefore, while blue cheese contains penicillin, it should not be considered an effective antibiotic.
