    That does seem really impressive. I am not really educated on this medicinal front, but should we at this point start looking for other antibiotics? Seeing that some Bacteria(I’m assuming) have become resistant to Penicillin, and more will eventually develop resistance to our Anti-Bacterial drugs.

      I think there are lots of contenders to talk about in an opinionated discussion. The 20th century was pretty amazing for medical discoveries. I was actually not thinking of penicillin when I decided to post this discussion question. I was thinking about a specific discovery, though, when I asked. Call me totally childish, but I asked the question to see if anyone else thinks the same way as me. Gotta make this gig fun somehow, I guess! Anyway, so many contenders to have an opinion about. I’m not going to share mine because I want to see what people think and besides, it’s just about opinions, not hardcore data or anything. I’m pretty sure we’re alive today thanks to the many discoveries medical professionals made in the 20th century.
