Summary

"Antibiotics stop a bacterial infection from multiplying. They help treat pneumonia, strep throat, and much more. Their creation marked a medical revolution, saving lives from World War II soldiers to modern hospital patients"--, Provided by publisher"Before antibiotics, bacterial infections were often a death sentence. Scientists didn't understand the diseases bacteria caused. Often, doctors' treatments did more harm than good. In 1929, an accidental discovery changed medicine and kicked off a medical revolution. Discover how antibiotics have evolved alongside the bacteria they fight. Plus, learn how treatments such as penicillin kill the bacteria that cause pneumonia, strep throat, and other common infections in this graphic history."--, Back cover
