Alexander Fleming Discovers Penicillin: A Medical Revolution
On September 28, 1928, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. Noticing a mold (Penicillium notatum) contaminating a petri dish of Staphylococcus bacteria, he observed its ability to inhibit bacterial growth. This accidental finding at St Mary's Hospital in London led to the development of the first widely used antibiotic. Fleming's discovery revolutionized medicine, transforming the treatment of infectious diseases and saving millions of lives, ushering in the age of antibiotics.
