Year Event type Details Geographical location
1932 German pathologist Gerhard Domagk develops prontosil, the first sulphonamide microbial.[1][2][3] Germany
1942 Penicillin is introduced.[3]
1943 Streptomycin is introduced. It is the first antibiotic effective against tuberculosis.[4][5][6][3]
1945 The cephalosporins are discovered from a fungus, Cephalosporium acremonium, in seawater samples near a sewage outfall in Sardinia.[3][7][8][9] Italy
1947 Chloramphenicol is isolated from the soil organism Streptomyces venezuelae. Merketed in 1949, its use would quickly become widespread due to its broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity.[10][11][12][13]
1947 American plant physiologist Benjamin Minge Duggar isolates chlortetracycline from a Missouri River mud sample. It is the first tetracycline introduced.[14][15][16][17] United States
1949 Jewish-American biochemist Selman Waksman and Hubert A. Lechevalier first isolate neomycin, as aminoglycoside antibiotic found in many topical medications such as creams, ointments, and eyedrops.[18][19][20] United States
1952 Eli Lilly and Company introduces erythromycin, an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, chlamydia infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and syphilis.[21][22][23] United States
1956 Research team at the Lilly Biological Laboratories in Indiana first isolates vancomycin from bacterium streplomyces orienlalis. Vancomycin is used as a treatment for complicated skin infections, bloodstream infections, endocarditis, bone and joint infections, and meningitis caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.[3][24][25][26] United States
1961 Antibiotic ampicillin is introduced. Within a short time it would become the drug of choice for treatment of Hemophilus influenzae meningitis.[27][28][29][3]
1963 Antibiotic gentamicin is discovered.[3]
1964 Antibiotic cephalosporins is introduced.[3]
1964 Antibiotic vancomycin is introduced.[3]
1965 Dicloxacillin is synthesized by Bayer.[30][31][32]
1966 Antibiotic doxycycline is introduced.[3]
1970 Non-toxic semi-synthetic acid-resistant isoxazolyl penicillin flucloxacillin is introduced into clinical practice.[32][33]
1971 Antibiotic rifampicin is introduced.[3]
1974 Antibiotic co-trimoxazole is introduced.[3]
1976 Antibiotic amikacin is introduced.[3]
1984 Antibiotic ampicillin/clavulanate is introduced.[3]
1987 Antibiotic imipenem/cilastin is introduced.[3]
1987 Antibiotic ciprofloxacin is introduced.[3]
1993 Antibiotics azithromycin and clarithromycin are introduced.[3]
1999 Antibiotic quinupristin/dalfopristin is introduced.[3]
2000 Antibiotic linezolid is introduced.[3]
2003 Antibiotic daptomycin is introduced.[3]
2004 Antibiotic telithromycin is introduced.[3]
2005 Antibiotic tigecycline is introduced.[3]
