Thousands of years before Alexander Fleming won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of penicillin, people all over the world intuitively learned to use plants with antimicrobial properties. Although penicillin received its official name only in 1942, it began to help people very early, both in peacetime and during wars and epidemics.
Today, it is impossible to imagine life without antibiotics. They are widely used in medicine, animal husbandry and other industries. And, of course, many myths surround antibacterial drugs. One of the most common is that these drugs cause irreparable harm to the body and should be stopped completely.
“Elchi” reports that antibiotics are a group of drugs that inhibit or kill the growth of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and even certain types of malignant tumor cells.
At the same time, other people perceive antibiotics as an enemy, something potentially dangerous – they say that if you start taking antibiotics, it will destroy the body’s own defense systems, and the body will become resistant to them and stop helping in a really difficult situation in the future.
No matter how hard humanity tries, the macrocosm and microcosm are constantly interacting.
