New Jersey State Microbe Saved Rock n Roll
BeforeRingo Starr was the drummer for The Beatles, he was Richard Starkey, a kid from Liverpool. Born in 1940, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1952 and was hospitalized for two years.
The only treatments available at the time were: bed rest (95% mortality); streptomycin monotherapy; combination therapy with streptomycin and para-aminosalicyclic acid; and triple therapy with streptomycin, para-aminosalicyclic acid, and isoniazid.
It’s reasonable to assume that streptomycin, the antibiotic produced by Streptomyces griseus (discovered in New Jersey), was an important part of Ringo’s survival. His career with The Beatles, and his contributions to rock n roll music, would not have been possible without Streptomyces griseus, The New Jersey State Microbe.
