I have corrected the false and scandalous claim that Waksman was responsible for the isolation of streptomycin. He merely got the credit for another scientist's work. Shorne 17:36, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The claim was indeed scandalous but not wholely false. To instead say that Schatz was wholely responsible and the Waksman did nothing is also innaccurate. I have replaced the so called correction with a more accurate statement. The issue is more like that between Watson & Crick and Rosalind Franklin than one of theft by Waksman.
