Intro paragraph:
‘Antibiotics, long considered to be the “wonder drugs” of conventional medicine, were developed before the middle of the last century. Early on, they appeared so incredibly effective, that investigators predicted that they would virtually end the threat of infectious diseases. The optimism was so contagious that their use quickly spread through a diverse range of industries. Within a relatively short time these agents were being applied to a wide variety of different conditions in a host of different environments. They are currently being used extensively in agriculture, medicine and in personal care products.’
