Journal Article
Antibiotic antagonist: the curious career of René Dubos
2016
Overview
Only rarely do historians mention another miracle drug, gramicidin, and the Rockefeller researcher who discovered it, René Dubos. To some extent this is understandable: despite being hailed in 1939 as a \"hundred thousand times\" more powerful than the sulpha drugs, gramicidin proved highly toxic when administered intravenously and although it was widely used during World War 2 to treat wounds and other topical infections it was soon eclipsed by streptomycin.
