Bacteriologists, on the basis of a simple stainâ€"test called afâ€" ter its originator Gram, divide bacteria into two main groups â€" gramâ€"positive and negative. Most infections are caused by the former and can generally be cured by ‘penicillin. Unforâ€" tunately, against the latter group, the drug has been largely ineffective. Because of its lack of toxicity, scientists have dreamt of inâ€" creasing the antiâ€"bacterial specâ€" trum> of penicillin to include gramâ€"negative organisms. Their labor has at last succeeded â€" a broadâ€"spectrum penicillin, called Penâ€"Britin, has been made availâ€" able for clinical use. Unfortunâ€" ately, the drug is in short supâ€" ply and its use, at the moment, is restricted to hospitals.
