"It's a miracle!"

Penicillin was the first antibiotic used successfully to treat infections caused by bacteria. […]

Before the development of penicillin, many people died from diseases that are no longer considered dangerous today. Just so you have an idea, just getting hurt on a nail, for example, could eventually lead to death.

[…] Thanks to antibiotics, diseases such as pneumonia, syphilis, rheumatic fever and tuberculosis are no longer fatal.

Today, it is known that the penicillin that has saved so many lives can also cause serious allergic reactions in some people and even lead to death. Despite this, penicillin is still the most used antibiotic in the world.
