Although quickly eclipsed by these newer "<a href="/wiki/Sulfa_drug" class="mw-redirect" title="Sulfa drug">sulfa drugs</a>" and, in the mid-1940s and through the 1950s by <a href="/wiki/Penicillin" title="Penicillin">penicillin</a> and other antibacterials that proved more effective against more types of bacteria, Prontosil remained on the market until the 1960s. Prontosil's discovery ushered in the era of antibacterial drugs and had a profound effect on pharmaceutical research, drug laws, and medical history. </p><p>Sulfonamide-<a href="/wiki/Trimethoprim" title="Trimethoprim">trimethoprim</a> combinations (<a href="/wiki/Co-trimoxazole" class="mw-redirect" title="Co-trimoxazole">co-trimoxazole</a>) are still used extensively against opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS, urinary infections and in the treatment of burns.
