A touch of medical agony from 1638, to make you appreciate modern forms of anesthesia and antibacterials. From David Ryckaert of Antwerp, whose day is today.

Lolamicin works by targeting a unique Gram-negative transport system. No currently approved antibacterials work in this way, meaning it potentially represents the first of a new class of antibacterials with narrow-spectrum Gram-negative activity and low gastrointestinal

And if folks think it’s a tough situation with antibacterials, wait until they see what it looks like with antifungals!

I've found that one of the best ways to resist attacks on science is to continue doing science. To that end, here's my new preprint studying the differences between type ii topoisomerases, some of the best targets for antibacterials, to help guide the development of new and better antibacterials 🧪
Bacterial type II topoisomerases cleave DNA in a species-specific manner
The type II topoisomerases, gyrase and topoisomerase IV, are essential enzymes in nearly all bacteria and are the targets of fluoroquinolones, which are some of the most widely prescribed broad-spectr...

Our pediatrics department chair had a pet peeve about calling them antibiotics, he forced us to call them "antimicrobials" or "antibacterials".
The Peds ID world is not very big. Some of the true nerds like @empiricgame.bsky.social might know who I'm referring to.
We were so glad when he left.

Exactly. Nor is there a treatment for polio, or for rabies, etc. There is no market for drugs that do not exist, and antivirals and antibacterials are NOT generally high margin products.
The idea that pharma wants to make people sick is just abject bullshit.

1. We use different antibacterials for consumer soaps than we do for plague bacteria. HOWEVER, we DO use the same antibacterials for plague and other common bacterial infections, like streptococcus and pseudomonas. Resistance is a numbers game so the more bacteria , the more likely it is to develop

Went to get checked out by a doctor. FINALLY got proper meds to help my post-shingles arm heal after being passed through doctors giving me medication that wasn't applicable(antibacterials) or meds that were too late to work(antivirals). Those were *not* costly.

Interested the Pico question for severe CAP was set around 5 days. And couldn't commit to avoiding antibacterials in people with proven viruses even in outpatients.
