| Abstract: | Since the historical discovery of Penicillin by Fleming in 1929, about 150 substances have been isolated from moulds, fungi, bacteria and algae, which will antagonize or destroy microrganisms. Unfortunately, the majority are too toxic for therapeutic use. Penicillin was derived from a fungus, Penicillium notatum, and, so far, it is the only therapeutically significant antibiotic of fungal origin. Nearly all the newer antibiotics are produced by soil actinomycetes. The Streptomyces, which belong to this group, have yielded Streptomycin, Chloromycetin, Aureomycin, Terramycin, and the very recent Neomycln and Viomycin. |
