THE DISCOVERY OF PENICILLIN—NEW INSIGHTS AFTER MORE THAN 75 YEARS OF CLINICAL USE
ABSTRACT
After just over 75 years of penicillin’s clinical use, the world can see that its impact was immediate and profound. In 1928, a chance event in Alexander Fleming’s London laboratory changed the course of medicine. However, the purification and first clinical use of penicillin would take more than a decade. Unprecedented United States/Great Britain cooperation to produce penicillin was incredibly successful by 1943. This success overshadowed efforts to produce penicillin during World War II in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands. Information about these efforts, available only in the last 10–15 years, provides new insights into the story of the first antibiotic. Researchers in the Netherlands produced penicillin using their own production methods and marketed it in 1946, which eventually increased the penicillin supply and decreased the price. The unusual serendipity involved in the discovery of penicillin demonstrates the difficulties in finding new antibiotics and should remind health professionals to expertly manage these extraordinary medicines.

Choose the correct option.
Dutch researchers produced penicillin for it was cheaper than before. Concerning the supply of it, the increase was automatic.
The first clinical use of penicillin was not immediate owing to the impact of its discovery. This delay changed the History of Medicine.
The efforts by the Netherlands to produce the new drug weren't regarded as valuable until around a decade ago.
It is impossible that penincillin's first clinical use dates back more than 75 years.
The US and Great Britain succeeded in producing penicillin right after 1943.
