A New Era in the Fight Against Microbes

PHILIPP SCHONWALD M.D., F.A.C.P., F.C.C.P.1

1 Seattle, Washington

A new addition to chemotherapy is the modern principle of utilizing substances created by the metabolism of soil bacteria and fungi in fighting and destroying microbes. A review of the literature from 1929 is presented, and a suggestion made that other soil molds, in addition to penicillin, may possess anti-microbic characteristics. Several such fungi and soil bacteria are under cultivation now and there is hope that these extracts will lead to important discoveries.
