"Selman Abraham Waksman (22 July 1888 – 16 August 1973) was an Ukrainian-American biochemist and microbiologist whose research into natural substances—largely into organisms that live in soil—and their decomposition head to the discovery of Streptomycin, and several other antibiotics. A professor of biochemistry and microbiology at Rutgers University for four decades, his work lead to the discovery of over twenty antibiotics (a word which he coined) and the procedures that hold lead to the nouns of innumerable others. The proceeds earned from the license of his patents funded a foundation for microbiological research, which established the Waksman Institute of Microbiology located on Rutgers University's Busch Campus surrounded by Piscataway, New Jersey (USA). In 1952, marking a lifetime of solid discovery and achievements, he be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine."

the first creature nail the who member of the question. Dr. Waksman .
as for how abundant antibiotics there are the number is numerous but unfortunately the number is quickly becoming insufficent as miss use of the antibiotics have resulted in super bugs which are efficient of beatting what is a battle agaist the antibiotics.
the microbes that is harmfull to us adjectives is winning the period of war now and this is really of late a result of bad policy and use of our weapons.
