So I am doing a small experiment with bacteria and was just wondering if anyone had any ideas where I could get good antibiotics. I am not sure if you
can get things like penicillin or other well known ones OTC... I looked around in my local pharmacy and didn't seem to find much other than some
creams.
Thanks for any input.

You'll find a fair selection at any pet store specializing in tropical fish

Ag and vet supply places, you can get oxytetracycline and a few other ones.

Ahhh ok I didn't even think of looking at a place like that.
Sounds like a field trip later today or tomorrow...

Even better, I would look at the "Asian" food stores around you. If you live decently close to an urban area, the chances are that your local such
store has a gajillion antibiotics imported, but in unrecognizable form. My local chinese store has cefalexin, penicillin and erythromycin - its just
in boxes labelled in chinese and customs obviously misses this. Not that there's an intention on the part of the chinese folks to defraud customs -
I'm pretty sure they have no clue that such import regulations exist - just that noone's told them that it ain't allowed. And the local chinese
community doesn't care or know otherwise, either.
