This article explores the historical significance of Penicillin on bacterial infections, first illustrated in the famous petri dish experiments from 1944 in the UK. It highlights the ongoing battle against antibiotic resistance, particularly focusing on Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). With increasing antibiotic sales in meat and poultry production raising concerns, we will examine the implications for human health and the urgent need for effective strategies in combating the rise of superbugs.
