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

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.
