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.

When were antibiotics developed and commercialized?
Antibiotics were developed in the 1920s and later commercialized in the 1940s.
Is resistance to antibiotics permanent?
Resistance to antibiotics is not necessarily permanent. Some bacteria can lose their resistance if they are not constantly exposed to antibiotics. However, the emergence of new mutations can result in the development of new antibiotic-resistant strains. Continued monitoring and appropriate use of antibiotics are essential in managing antibiotic resistance.
What is sulfonamide?
Sulfonamide is a class of antibiotics that work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. They are commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections and pneumonia. Sulfonamide antibiotics were one of the first types of antibiotics developed and are still used today.
Why do researchers need to constantly develop new types of antibiotics?
Because people (including doctors) keep using antibiotics for inappropriate purposes, including treatment of the common cold, which is a virus. Viruses are not affected by antibiotics. Constant exposure to antibiotics in the environment has resulted in mutations of bacteria so that they are antibiotic resistant. Thus, it is necessary to continue to develop new antibiotics to deal with these new super-bacteria. It should be said that the drug companies themselves are largely responsible for this, as they constantly lobby to allow antibiotics to be used unnecessarily, such as in treatment of poultry and other animals that are to be slaughtered for meat. This saves money, but it also releases huge amounts of drugs into the environment. (See above for results) The pharmaceutical giants thus get richer in two ways: selling the old drugs and developing and marketing new ones.
Who made first atom bomb?
The first atomic bomb was developed by the United States during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. It was successfully tested on July 16, 1945, in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
When were antibiotics developed and commercialized?
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
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.
When was central locking developed?
Yes safety and E-tested
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.
Were antibiotics available to treat Typhoid Fever in 1910?
Of course not. Antibiotics weren't developed until the mid-1940's, 30 years later.
When was the hydrogen bomb developed?
The US program began in 1950 and tested its first device in 1952 and tested a deliverable bomb in 1954. The USSR program began in 1950 and tested a deliverable but limited bomb in 1953 and tested a full scale deliverable bomb in 1955.
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.
What if you were treated for something else and had antibiotics could you find out if you had chlamydia?
No; you must be tested to confirm that you have chlamydia. It's possible that the other antibiotics cleared chlamydia, even though you didn't take them for that purpose. Ask your health care provider for advice based on the antibiotics you took.
Can tuberculosis be treated with antibiotics?
Yes, it is usually treated aggressively with multiple antibiotics due to the high resistance tuberculosis has developed to multiple antibiotics. S - RPh
