When it comes to bacterial disease, we are living in a state of
false security. Antibiotics have indeed brought unprecedented
health benefits, protection from and cure of bacterial diseases
during the past 50 years. But there are ominous signs that the
fortress and the defenses built on antibiotics are crumbling. They
are crum bling because we wittingly or unwittingly created
selective con ditions for the emergence of superior pathogens that
can no longer be controlled by antibiotics. There are numerous
warnings. After a long period of eclipse tuberculosis has now
emerged as a serious threat unchecked by antibiotic treatment.
Recent years have seen reports of cholera epidemics, of anthrax
infections, of serious problems with Salmonella and even with E.
coli, just to name a few. Mankind is in a race with microbial
invaders. The challenge is to anticipate and respond to
developments that affect the precarious balance between man and
microbe. This will re quire new knowledge and it will take time for
an effective appli cation of that knowledge."
