THE DISCOVERY OF PENICILLIN—NEW INSIGHTS AFTER MORE THAN 75 YEARS OF CLINICAL USE
ABSTRACT
After just over 75 years of penicillin’s clinical use, the world can see that its impact was immediate and profound. In 1928, a chance event in Alexander Fleming’s London laboratory changed the course of medicine. However, the purification and first clinical use of penicillin would take more than a decade. Unprecedented United States/Great Britain cooperation to produce penicillin was incredibly successful by 1943. This success overshadowed efforts to produce penicillin during World War II in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands. Information about these efforts, available only in the last 10–15 years, provides new insights into the story of the first antibiotic. Researchers in the Netherlands produced penicillin using their own production methods and marketed it in 1946, which eventually increased the penicillin supply and decreased the price. The unusual serendipity involved in the discovery of penicillin demonstrates the difficulties in finding new antibiotics and should remind health professionals to expertly manage these extraordinary medicines.

Resolução comentada
As informações sobre o esforço holandês só ficaram disponíveis nos últimos 10–15 anos.
O texto diz que o sucesso EUA/Grã-Bretanha ofuscou o esforço holandês e que as informações sobre ele só ficaram disponíveis nos últimos 10–15 anos. Portanto, esse esforço não era valorizado até cerca de uma década atrás.
Análise das alternativas
A) O texto diz que os holandeses usaram métodos próprios e que o preço caiu com o tempo, e o aumento da oferta não foi automático. B) O atraso do uso clínico não é apresentado como causado pelo impacto da descoberta. D) 'Just over 75 years' de uso clínico é plenamente possível. E) A cooperação foi bem-sucedida 'by 1943', não depois de 1943.
