Simple scrapes, cuts and internal injuries would slowly build and ravage our body both from the inside-out and the other way around. There are certain strains of bacteria that are resistant to almost every form of antibiotic. 2 of them may cause a lot of damage in the near future: MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and VRE (Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus).

Without penicillin, bacterial infections such as pneumonia, strep throat, and skin infections would be more difficult to treat, leading to more severe illness and higher mortality rates. Surgical outcomes would also be negatively impacted by the higher risk of post-operative infections. Development of alternative antibiotics or other treatments would be crucial in managing bacterial infections.
