Streptomycin was first isolated on October 19, 1943, by

New Jersey College for Women[3]. Although Bugie was considered to be the second author on the Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology paper, she was not listed on the patent submission[4]. Bugie's contributions to Wakeman's lab were great. In addition to her work on streptomycin, she also helped develop other antimicrobial substances[5], had two peer-reviewed publications[6][7], and researched the use of antimicrobials against plant pathogens[8]
, among several other important contributions to the scientific field, particularly in regard to microbiology.

Schatz sued both Dr. Waksman and the Rutgers Research and Endowment Foundation, wanting to be given credited as co-discover and receive the royalties for the streptomycin[3]. By the end of the settlement, Waksman would receive a 10% royalty, while Schatz got 3% and compensation for his missed royalties [9]. The rest of the lab shared the remaining 7% of the royalties, in which Bugie received 0.2%.
