Penicillin used to be very effective against a large number of bacteria when introduced initially but now many bacteria have developed resistance to it. This is because:
1. penicillin causes gene mutations, some of which are beneficial.
2. previously resistant forms survived and reproduced better than non-resistant forms.
3. the hospital environment inhibits competition among bacteria.
4. penicillin triggers the synthesis of resistant proteins.
