H SCiENCE AT WORK New York (U.R) Doctors never had such magical means of getting people well from in fections as the antibiotics, so you can understand why they're gravely concerned because, with some infections, the antibiotics don't appear now to be nearly so magical as they were. That that is so is largely the doctors' fault they've used the magical means too lavishly, espe cially when something 'else would have done. They've de manded the magic from the doctors,- and they've dosed themr selves with antibiotics when and if they could, with no knowledge of the possibilities of harm. The antibiotics are produced by mold organisms. Penicillin is the best known. They are or were sure death for ' hosts of bacteria which infect human be; ings, sicken them, and kill therm The trouble which is the in creasing concern of nfedical sci entists and practicing physicians is that some bacteria are learning how to resist antibi otics and keep right on multi plying and infecting. Patient Neglected The gravity of the problem was underscored by a recent is sue of the American Medical As sociation Journal, which is cir culated only to M.D.'s and the related professionals. It contain ed two reports on the present state of affairs in the microscop ic world of bacteria and their antagonists, the antibiotics. One dealt with the meaning of bacteria resistant to antibi otics to the physician trying to cope with them in the human body. It was prepared by Drs. Harry F. Dowling, Mark H. Lep per, and George G. Jackson of Chicago, and its recommenda tion was that doctors start pay ing more attention to the patient and less to the bacteria making him ill. "In the field of infectious dis eases the patient has come to be neglected as we have concentrat ed on the parasite-," they said. "The obvious defects of antibi otic therapy, among the most important of which is the phe nomenon of bacterial resistance to antibiotics should make us focus again on the central figure, the patient, the place where we should have focused all along." New Discoveries One basic trouble is that strains of resistant bacteria are getting around. They estimated that hospital attendants may har bor 85 per cent micrococci in their upper respiratory tracts which are resistant to penicillin. A patient enters the hospital when his micrococci are 51 per cent resistant. When he is dis charged, his micrococci now are 88 per cent resistant. The goal is to prevent bac terial strains from becoming re sistant, and to prevent resistant strains from becoming more numerous and more widespread. This can be done by restrained and judicious use of the antibi otics so as to prevent bacteria from learning how to deal suc cessfully with them. As the doc tors said, the way is "to pay in creasing attention to the host, his protective mechanisms, and his environment." As of now, there is no reason for anyone to feel we're about to lose the benefits of the magi cal antibiotics. The bacterial tribes, by and large, have not learned too much about how to live with them. And new antibi DD (D Over 75 off Your FAVORITE! Foodls PRICED AT' Bie.-SAVIMeS! CHECK THE DOLLAR SALE PRICES ON THE GROCETERIA SHELVES AND CUT YOUR APRIL FOOD COSTS A LOT MORE THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT. By DELOS SMITH United Prett Science Editor otics continue to be discovered. However, there can be no ig noring the problem of bacterial "resistance" to antibiotics. The doctors said this Svill probably become a problem of ..increasing gravity. This problem can be combated only for a while by dis covering new antibiotics; sooner or later there will be an end to this." Their alternative was more attention to the patient, less to the bacteria. Wall Sireef New York (U.R) Specialty issues featured a generally mix ed and moderately active stock market today.
