Thanks for the condescending explanation with the wrong dates, mate!

It was "discovered" in 1928 by Fleming, and refined into a usable antibiotic in 1940 by Florey. One of my relatives was involved in developing it and another relative was one of the first civilians to be treated with it. But it didn't make it out to the field hospitals for active treatment until 1944 because it was too difficult to make in quantity, and where Claire was serving on the frontlines she probably never got to use it, as it wasn't used in primary treatment.

Sulfa drugs were indeed earlier and Claire would have used them, but they were only effective for a short time before bacteria developed resistance, and only for a relatively small number of bacterial infections. A huge improvement on previous attempts but still relatively limited.
