Mold-derived medicine course
Penicillin treatment is the use of penicillin antibiotics to combat bacterial infections.
Since Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1928 and its subsequent development as a drug, penicillin treatment has been a cornerstone of medicine, effective against infections ranging from strep throat to syphilis.
The phrase typically refers to a course of the antibiotic administered orally or by injection.
