Biographical. Selman Abraham Waksman was born in Priluka, near Kiev, Russia, on July 22nd, 1888, as the son of Jacob Waksman and Fradia London. He received his early education primarily from private tutors, and completed his school training in Odessa in an evening school and with private tutors.
Here, in Martin Hall, Selman A. Waksman and his students isolated antibiotics produced by actinomycetes, most notably streptomycin, the first effective pharmaceutical treatment for tuberculosis, cholera, and typhoid fever. They also isolated neomycin, used as a topical antibacterial agent.
He identified more than 20 new natural inhibitory substances, including streptomycin and neomycin, and proposed the now standard term “antibiotics” for this class of natural growth inhibitors. With his discovery of streptomycin in 1944, Waksman initiated a collaboration with Merck and Company.
