Chlortetracycline

The first antibiotic of the tetracycline family, discovered in 1945 by American botanist Benjamin Minge Duggar in a soil sample from the University of Missouri and announced in 1948; it is produced by the bacterium Streptomyces aureofaciens. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Duggar was over seventy when he made the discovery; the name aureofaciens, from the Latin aureus (gold), recalls the intense golden-yellow colour of the microorganism and of the antibiotic.
