Although I have already sent an answer directly to Mr. Fuller, I have been
surprised (and disappointed) that no one yet has mentioned the monobactams,
developed for use as antimicrobial agents with specific inhibitory activity
against Gram-negative organisms. These were described as "magic bullets"
against Gram-negatives when they were first disclosed in the early 1980s.
