Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly. Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time? So, I visualized it myself!

The data comes from this very interesting paper on antibiotic development: doi.org/10.1016/j.mi... And is part of a new article I wrote on the Golden Age of Antibiotics and how we can spark a new one!

ourworldindata.orgWhat was the Golden Age of Antibiotics, and how can we spark a new one?Many antibiotics were developed during the “Golden Age of Antibiotics”. How did it happen, why has antibiotic development slowed down since then, and what can we do to reignite it?

Since I have severe allergies to a whole lot of medicine, there are only 2 antibiotics I can take. It is vital that I stay as healthy as possible. I cannot afford to have one of the antibiotics become resistant to my body.
