Penicillin isn't quite my very favorite antibiotic, but it's up there.
Although often relegated to more historical importance in modern times, penicillin still has several key roles to play in the therapy of infections. Many species of Streptococci, including those responsible for Strep throat, remain exquisitely sensitive to penicillin. Certain other organisms, such as Actinomyces, are also well-treated by this medication. And the unfortunate few who have rheumatic heart disease also see benefit from said drug for long term prophylaxis of attacks.
And, of course, in the treatment of SYPHILIS. And the comforting of this Day 18 crackling virility hedge.
Sensation: soothing, fuzzy warmth of the penicillin face-probes
Palpation: fuzzy plush of curative joy
Personal satisfaction rating: 5 (out of 5 chaste Norsemen)
Feedback:
I did not know of penicillin's heart disease indication. That's pretty spiffy. It is my favorite antibiotic, 'cause as a youngster, I'd catch strep throat from so much as looking at a kid who had it. Especially the cherry flavor.
