The fight against staph switched from using the mostly ineffective penicillin to using methicillin in the late 1960’s. By the early 1980’s, clinically significant strains of Staphylococcus emerged that were not only resistant to methicillin, but also to its antibiotic cousins, such as naficillin. In May 1982 a newborn baby died at the University of California ...
