So the reason it wouldn't deserve the penicillin moniker is because penicillin is a deep, broad-spectum anti-biotic effective against all bacteria (to a greater or lesser degree). This is in contrast to narrow-spectrum antibiotics (which effect either gram-negative or gram-positive) or shallow (azythromycin, e.g. antibiotics effective against a limited tyoe of infections). I know this because I'm allergic to every broad spectrum antibiotic except one!😂 My doc says I get an infection resistant to doxycyclene and it's straight to injectibles...😂
Very cool how you rolled those properties into the story...

Meant to add that it sucks to be allergic to antibiotics, must be kind of terrifying.
Thank you!! As much as I love the research I can’t always take the time to really understand the minutiae, so this is awesome!
