Forgot to add streptomycin to the list (though this isn't widely available in the U.S., and one has to watch for rpsL resistance mutations).

Bugie was told it wasn't important for her name to be on the patent as she would "one day get married & have a family."
Waksman wrote articles about 𝗵𝗶𝘀 discovery, rarely mentioning help he'd received. Bugie was eventually awarded 0.2% of the streptomycin royalties. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect 2/2

Ikutaro Kakehashi, the founder of Roland and Boss, was very cool.
As a kid he became obsessed with radios, in WW2 he was a sickly kid who'd been orphaned by tuberculosis, shortly afterward he was one of the first humans cured of tuberculosis by streptomycin.

The treatment for neumonic plague is a series of antibiotics that must be administered immediately after diagnosis.
"First-line IV or oral drugs: Fluoroquinolones like ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, or aminoglycosides like gentamicin and streptomycin."
Does Russia not have these medications?

Active Treatment: For patients who already have active pneumonic plague, guidelines generally favor first-line intravenous (IV) antibiotics such as gentamicin, streptomycin, or fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin).

Before 1942, people died from tuberculosis.
Streptomycin, was discovered in 1943 by Selman Waksman, Elizabeth Bugie, & Albert Schatz at Rutgers University. The first patient was treated with streptomycin in November 1944 & was cured.
🏅Waksman received the 1952 Nobel Prize, for this discovery.

Meh. Not having the same issues with rodents and fleas as they had in the 14th century it’s not quite so serious. Also, streptomycin works well on Yersinia Pestis. There’s been an outbreak in Madagascar for several years and nobody is stopping flights from there.
