Many, Many options: Penicillin, discovered by alexander fleming in bread mold was the first antibiotic used to treat people with infections. Overuse caused less effectiveness and so other similar antibiotics were developed.Over time, health care providers have come to rely far too heavily on antibiotics to treat illnesses that were not infections. There are many, many antibiotics but only to treat a true infection.
