Includes recent advances in antibiotics and synthetics., Surveys the production of a variety of synthetic drugs and how these are employed to combat infectious diseases. Traces the historical development of these drugs beginning with Pasteur's discovery of pathogenic microorganisms and which through further research led to the development of a number of defenses beyond those normally developed by the body. The uses and production of several antitoxins, vaccines, antibiotics, and synthetic drugs are reviewed and means of producing active and passive immunity in humans are compared.
