Penicillin was once just a term referring to secretion from the mold, Penicillium notatum. In 1928, Alexander Fleming fortuitously recognized the presence and importance of the bactericidal band around the mold that had contaminated a culture plate of Staphylococcus aureus.1 This finding along with the work being done on sulfonamides ushered in the antibiotic era. In a similar fashion, botulinum toxin found its way into therapeutic use. Botulism is an uncommon but potentially fatal condition resulting typically from the ingestion of botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria.2 One of the characteristic symptoms is weakness of the eye muscles with drooping eyelids. Among infants, it creates so-called floppy baby syndrome and led to a recommendation of avoiding feeding honey to infants under age 1 year due to it acting as a reservoir of C botulinum spores. This early clinical presentation in eye muscles and muscle weakness led to interest in using the purified toxin (onabotulinumtoxin A) to treat strabismus.3 Success there led to applications elsewhere including the treatment of dysfunctional bladders and has led to calls for wider use in pediatric urology.4 Franco et al (page 774) in a multi-institutional study report on the long-term safety and tolerance of repeated cystoscopic intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin in the treatment of children with neurogenic bladder overactivity.5 They found that the injections were well tolerated and there were few serious treatment-related adverse events; notably the development of urinary tract infection was similar to the rate seen prior to injection. These findings confirm what many pediatric urologists have already known when using botulinum toxin in this manner but may serve as an important step in adding it formally to the available treatment options. The data may help garner regulatory approval, thereby broadening acceptance with third-party payers, and allow wider access and use. REFERENCES 1. . New light on the history of penicillin.
