U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature for November 4

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4: FIRST U.S. ANTIBIOTIC

Profile America -- Wednesday, November 4th. This year's Nobel prizes were announced last month, and the award ceremonies will be held in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway next month. In 1952, the prize for medicine was awarded for the discovery of the first antibiotic produced in the U.S. -- streptomycin. The breakthrough medicine was developed by a Ukranian immigrant, Dr. Selman Waksman, and four students in 1944 at Rutgers University in New Jersey. It went into production later that year. Prescriptions -- including antibiotics -- cost patients just over $231 billion a year -- about $476 for each American. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau online at www.census.gov.
