Darwinism and the Age of Antibiotics: What Really Caused the Treatment Crisis? (1)

Darwinism and the Age of Antibiotics: What Really Caused the Treatment Crisis? (1) It dates 1929 to the beginning of the antibiotic era, when Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic known as penicillin, which he joined in 1935 (Sulfonamide). These chemicals were considered the miracle of her time, as they proved to be effective in treating many fatal diseases. The series of antibiotic discoveries continued, and at the beginning of their use were highly effective, with the result that an atmosphere of optimism dominated the medical community. They came to believe that it was time to fold the book of infectious diseases, and declare the victory of humans over epidemics, but the subsequent experimental results were disappointing. Unfortunately, the golden age of antibiotics did not last long, and the high hopes we pinned on them were not fulfilled. Within a short time, a significant number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains appeared, and that optimism that prevailed in the medical community in the 1960s turned into a nightmare. In 2004 Dr. Tom Frieden published Thomas R. Frieden, former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), wrote an article titled "The End of Antibiotics, Can We Get Back from the Edge?"1 The article reflects the frustration doctors experienced after the emergence of resistant bacteria. Margaret Chan, former director of the World Health Organization, said: “The end of the antibiotic era means, in practice, the end of modern medicine as we know it.” In 1960, penicillin or ampicillin was sufficient to treat most cases of gonorrhea caused by Neisseria gonerrhoeae, but today about 24% of cases in the United States do not respond to penicillin or ampicillin treatment, rising to 98% in Southeast Asia. The resistance of penicillin to Staphylococcus aureus also rose from almost nothing in 1980 to 90% in 1980. This alarming rise makes treating diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus much more difficult than 10 or 20 years ago. For 90 years, new antibiotics have been discovered and manufactured. With each discovery, the therapeutic applications were initially very successful and now fail due to the emergence and spread of resistant species. Evolutionists have interpreted this history, which documents the relationship between antibiotic use and the emergence of resistant strains as Darwinian evolution of bacteria. Follow us...
