[edit] Discoverer of gramicidin
I thought that Dubos was made famous (and successful) by his discovery of gramicidin in the late 1930s. Some1 argue that gramicidin was the "first" antibiotic because it was commercialized before penicillin or used clinically before penicillin. Nevertheless, shouldn't the main article on Dubos mention gramicidin?
