Pre-antibiotics

Ancient cultures used plants, moulds and soil to treat bacterial infections. Tetracycline – a natural chemical compound later discovered and patented as an oral antibiotic in 1948 – has been found in human skeletal remains in Egypt and the Sudan that are around 1,500 years old. Quisque ut feugiat leo. Praesent feugiat odio vitae mollis fringilla las.

In ancient Greece, Egypt, and China, mouldy bread was pressed onto wounds to prevent infection.

Now scientists know that the active chemicals and metabolites present in early treatments meant that they were occasionally effective. For example, the moulds on bread produced antimicrobial substances.

Miasma theory

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam ligula risus, egestas a fermentum in, pulvinar vitae enim. Suspendisse ultricies feugiat ipsum. Mauris a tellus id eros bibendum lacinia. Phasellus volutpat dictum nunc, non suscipit est posuere at. Aenean molestie urna ipsum, in porta massa ultrices luctus. Nunc vitae ipsum id purus tempus varius sed sit amet neque. In sed lorem vel quam imperdiet condimentum non ut velit. Nullam cursus vel enim ac mattis.

1546: Germ theory

Germ theory states that microorganisms known as pathogens
or “germs” can lead to disease. These organisms are too small
to be seen with the naked eye. They invade human, animal,
and other living hosts and grow or reproduce, causing disease.
A germ can be any type of microorganism, including bacterium,
fungi, or viruses. Basic forms of this theory were proposed by
Italian physician Girolamo Fracastoro in 1546. It is still an
accepted scientific theory.
