Sir Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin. Sir Alexander Fleming lived from 1881 to 1955. Fleming was a British bacteriologist who in nineteen forty-five was the co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for medicine. He sha

red the prize with Doctor Howard Florey and Doctor Ernest Chain, who received the prize for their work in purifying Penicillin. Sir Alexander Fleming was born on a farm in Lochfield, Scotland on August sixth eighteen eighty-one. At age thirteen he went to live with his brother, who practiced medicine, in London, England. He then got a job in a shipping company. His uncle died and left him some money and he used the money to go to medical school. He had no university diploma so he took a special exam and attended the medical school of St. Mary’s Hospital. In World War One he served as an army doctor in France. So many men died during the war because of infected wounds. This made Fleming begin an intensive study of these wounds and proved that the antiseptics that the doctors used were almost as dangerous as the microbes in the infection. In 1922 he discovered that nasal mucus, tears, and some other secretions of the body could dissolve certain microbes with suprising speed. Sir Alexander Fleming’s discovery of Penicillin came to him totally by luck. A particle of mold flew in his open laboratory window and landed on a microbial colony of staphylococcus and dissolved it. If Sir Alexander Fleming had not been paying attention to this dish he may have washed it out and gone about his work, but he noticed a dead ring around the colony. Imagine if he had gone about his work how many millions of people would be dead today. The mold was identified as Penicillium Notatum. The substance dis
