I was born in 1949 and developed a soft tissue infection that initially responded to Penicillin. Eventually, my body developed resistance to Penicillin due to the recurrent infection. I became septic and the brand-new drug Acromycine was used on me, saving my life. This is from my family's oral history.

This explains so much. My grandfather, Lawrence R Jones, worked for CSC in Terre Haute and got tons of patents for CSC. He didn't get a patent, but a nice plaque, for figuring out how to turn what became neosporin from something that had to be prepped into a stable ointment you can sell.

Respect to your Gramps! I know the pain, my Grandpa did a bunch of work for Harris, invented some version of wireless communication and hovercraft that wasn't Commercially economical (I think Gov used it though for big craft)... He was pretty hush about most his work but he had intranet before we got the internet. I remember him checking his glowing green text on the screen of his very expensive home computer covered with a plastic dust cover when he was done. It was really cool. I overheard him and grandma kinda arguing about how she never let him get patents because they were too expensive and they couldn't afford to do it. He lamented his work being absorbed by companies who then would patent them. I wish I knew how to find what all projects he worked on. My uncle squandered what was left of their wealth after much was spent on grandma's cancer battle. We lost their home and everything in it. I really wanted his boxes of research and records but was too poor to travel states away to even attempt fighting my uncle for access. It tears my heart apart to even think much about it. First I really went into it but your the first person who I've ever seen have a similar experience! I know how I feel... and want to show my respect to your family, especially Grandpa and all the Grandpa's out there who built this nation, only to be taken advantage of by big business, while getting little thanks! 💥⚔️🦅🇺🇲 We honor your wisdom, hard work and dedication!! 😊 God bless 💯💪😎👍💯

Yella Pragada Subbarao was a major yet unknown figure in the development of tetracycline. Duggers succeded in his attempts after valuable insights and generous sharing of findings from SUbbarao. Yet even today subbarao remains unknown to most. Subbarao was the director of research at lederle. Most of his important works were destroyed by Fiske who also forced Subbarao into giving up credit for the isolation of Folic acid.

[@symmetria5192]

Great video as always and I’m excited to see the next one! Recently I’ve been seeing a bunch of ads for chicken raised with zero antibiotics (Perdue, I think?) which have led to me realizing that giving antibiotics to chickens that aren’t even necessarily sick was the norm, and this made some serious antibiotic resistance alarm bells go off in my head, so it’ll be interesting to hear more about how farming practices contribute and also just learn more about the topic in general!

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Yes! It was indeed Perdue that kicked off the recent trend of big poultry farms eschewing preventative antibiotics. For the resistance video, I read a book called Big Chicken by Maryn Mckenna that discusses that move at length.

I was born (my kids would say found) in 1958. I had ear infections. I had those little tubes placed in my ears. I remember that summer vividly as our family had put a pool in, and I got to watch everyone ELSE go swimming in the new pool. Traumatic for a little guy. Anyway I was put on a new wonder drug antibiotic. Teramycin. It turned my teeth yellow. At age 5 my baby teeth looked like a 5 pack a day smoker and a coffee drinker by the gallons. My adult teeth were also discolored. So I have some personal issues with Teramicin and Pfizer. Has to do with voodoo dolls.

[@Myytzlplk]

Born 1973, vividly recall getting tubes in both ears...twice 😂my ear canals are weird af apparently 😂even remember counting backwards from 100 and hitting static at 92-93. I still can't go more than a foot underwater without having my ears go whoosh. Question- can tetracycline cause similar tooth damage? My teeth are long gone, dentists always said they were pitted and wouldn't last past 30 (38), just curious as you seem knowledgeable on subject!

I really love these videos! I just took my last dose of Doxycycline HCL for an infection. It's nice to know where it came from. I also remember when Erythromycin was a literal go-to for most bacterial upper respiratory infections

[@rey3472]

Erythromycin was the predecessor to Azithromycin. If I remember rightly, Erythromycin was a hard antibiotic to take because of the side effects and the need for multiple doses per day. I like Doxycycline due to its minimal side effects at least in me and once a day dosing. Doxycycline is probably going to be effective against the Mycoplasmal pneumonia going through the world right now. More so than Azithromycin. High incidence of mycoplasma being resistant to Azithromycin.

Small but rare reactions to Tetracyclines group is quite similar to Sulfate based antibiotics. Can’t even touch Doxycycline without being seriously nuked by the sunlight. Destroys your eye uv sensitivity. I practically advised my parents GP that under no circumstances should I be ever be prescribed tetracycline, including Doxycycline for urinary tract infections! My skin from top to toe turns red, blisters and peels off. It’s a rare side effect. Unfortunately I should really be wearing a medical pendant or bracelet. These medical alert devices are far too expensive and rarely update the medication/condition unless you subscribe annually. In other countries it’s quite compulsory, in the UK, NHS says that you really don’t need one. Regarding Antibiotics and Farming in general, I remember feeding the piglets with powdered feed that contained antibiotics, adult animals did get from birth to the slaughter house the antibiotics used in animal feed were just awful. Even the chickens were fed antibiotic feed and water. I think within the past 20 odd years most farmers have woken up to antibiotic resistance and is it really necessary to be using antibiotics in the human food supply today. The food industry still needs government intervention and higher than ever vigilance than before, but it is not happening since COVID. The rises in gastrointestinal infections have quadrupled since last decade. Because food processing is still in the dark ages and done on the cheap. Processing staff bosses are interested in making profits and not from higher quality sterility in a factory environment. You do hear of certain brands that continue to flout the regulations and people still buy their crappy products !

When you are saying like ribosome inhibitor you mean like in the bacteria internally? It was my understanding bacteria don't enter human cells, virus do. So that makes the bacteria die or not reproduce?

[@PatKellyTeaches]

Correct, the antibiotic gets into the bacteria cell and keeps their ribosomes from working. Human cells also have ribosomes, but they're a little different, so the antibiotic doesn't harm our cells

[@hedgehog3180]

In a bacterial infection the bacteria aren't necessarily doing direct harm to your cells, they are just living somewhere inside your body and stealing all the nutrients your cells need while excreting dangerous waste products. Some pathogens, bacteria specifically evolved to infect humans, will try to do direct harm to your cells with toxins and other chemicals but this is often aimed more so at the immune system.

If tetracycline binds to ribosomes in the bacterium, does it also bind to our ribosomes in our cells?

[@hedgehog3180]

Our cells won't just absorb whatever materials are floating around, they'll only absorb large molecules if they recieve a hormonal signal telling them to do so. Meanwhile bacteria being single celled organisms can't rely on outside signals and need to just scavange whatever they can. This is also the cause of Diabetes, our cells will not absorb glucose even though it is necessary for them to live unless they are told to do so with the hormone insulin. Also our cells and body as a whole has much more advanced repair capability, if a cell accumulates serious damage it will perform a controlled suicide and then it will be replaced. Plus our cells don't leave all of their ribosomes floating around freely, most are contained in a structure where access is strictly controlled. I'd imagine that this is why antibiotics generally don't affect eukaryote cells very much, though I'm sure that if there was just a ton of it, it would still be able to do damage. Also antibiotics that are taken orally over a long period of time can harm the gut microbiome because it is made up of foreign bacteria, though of course in some infections that is the goal.
