History of Antibiotic Discovery: Empiricism Ruled 15 screening programs unwittingly biased them towards particular antibiotics and thus the same molecules would repeatedly turn up Furthermore, the publication and patent filings on novel molecules by their competitors exacerbated the risk of re -discovery There were many instances of the same molecule being discovered at about the same time and frequently... viridifaciens, and Pfizer succeeded in chemically converting chlortetracycline to tetracycline [14] All three companies filed patents but were all initially rejected Pfizer and Bristol persisted with their filings and were eventually awarded patents An agreement was reached between the various tetracycline producers and their licensees, and this family of antibiotics became widely prescribed and came to rival... and/ or in vivo activity will usually be considered to be the year of its discovery Only those antibiotics that were found to have clinical utility and were, for at least a time, marketed for the treatment of systemic bacterial infections will be considered As will become clear, the gap in time between an antibiotic s discovery and its availability to prescribing physicians has increased dramatically... screening test being used As will be seen, although the focus and most of the success came from those programs based on the actinomycetes, some important antibiotics other than penicillin came from fungi (cephalosporins and fusidic acid) and other non-actinomycete bacteria (bacitracin and polymyxin) 1.4.2 Screening for Activity The simplest and most straightforward test was to assay a fermentation broth . y0 w0 h0" alt="" Antibiotic Discovery and Development Thomas J.
