In 1943, a major medical breakthrough occurred with the discovery of streptomycin, the first antibiotic effective against tuberculosis. This discovery by American microbiologist Selman Waksman and his graduate student Albert Schatz at Rutgers University marked a turning point in the fight against infectious diseases. • Streptomycin was isolated from the soil bacterium Streptomyces griseus. Its discovery was significant because tuberculosis, once a deadly disease with no effective treatment, could now be combated. Streptomycin's success opened the door to the development of other antibiotics, revolutionizing modern medicine. • The discovery of streptomycin also highlighted the importance of soil microbiology in medical research. It demonstrated that microorganisms could be a source of powerful medicines. Waksman's work earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1952. • Streptomycin's impact on public health has been profound. It not only saved countless lives but also paved the way for new treatments for various bacterial infections, changing the course of medical history. • #Streptomycin, #TuberculosisTreatment, #MedicalBreakthrough, #SelmanWaksman, #AlbertSchatz, #RutgersUniversity, #SoilMicrobiology, #AntibioticDiscovery, #InfectiousDiseases, #NobelPrize, #PublicHealth, #ModernMedicine, #BacterialInfections, #MedicalResearch, #HealthRevolution
