    Uploaded by

    rpGIu0998
    Sir Alexander Fleming was a Scottish bacteriologist whose accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928 led to the development of antibiotics. Fleming found that a mold in his laboratory produced a substance that killed or prevented the growth of certain types of bacteria. This substance was later identified as penicillin, the first antibiotic ever discovered. Although Fleming's discovery was initially overlooked, it helped launch the "antibiotics age" and revolutionized medicine. Fleming received the 1945 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discoveries.
