You don't use Streptomycin to treat a staph infection.
Not anymore!
Streptomycin was once effective against staph infections until strains of the bacteria EVOLVED mechanisms to inhibit the action of Streptomycin.
They came up with S-T-R-E-Ptomycin to treat, wonder of wonders, a streptococcal infection. That has always been the drug of choice Marcus (as in Welby)
They germs started out as bacteria, and the "evolved" ones are now what, pray tell? Let me take a wild-azz guess, bacteria? Whooda [bleep]' thunk it?
