Acha, these clever medicines... they work like a key breaking a lock, aiming for the wall of the germ. But this beta-lactamase the doctor mentioned? It is like the bacteria’s own locksmith, yaar, it ruins the key. In our small chemist shop here, we often get only the older penicillin, and many times it fails because these bacteria have become so clever. My own Zainab took a full course last monsoon for her fever, with no change—we had to travel to the city for a different injection. It makes me think, what good is knowing how they work, if the ones we can afford no longer do?
