Penicillin Proven Effective Against Major Infections
A report notes penicillin works best against staphylococcic gonococcic pneumococcic and hemolytic streptococcus infections while being less effective for bacterial endocarditis. In sulfonamide resistant gonococcal infections it shows striking results with 125 of 129 cases symptom free within nine to 48 hours after treatment. Administration is by injection or local application, not oral. The AMA reports 160 quarts of mold culture yield ten grams of penicillin, enough for about 100 doses, costing nearly £50,000 per 1,000 grams under current manufacturing.
