But in 1928 by accident a scientist discovered penicillin and finally deaths by bacteria were dropping to the point where in the past a mere cut could mean death by bacterial infection when compared to the present, humanity now doesn’t even consider bacterial infection, and that is all due to the power of penicillin and other antibiotics.
