One sometimes finds what one is not looking for. When I woke up just after dawn on Sept. 28, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic, or bacteria killer. But I guess that was exactly what I did.

Oh god , tnx for this info about his person 🧍‍♂️

This story is truly inspiring. Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin shows that sometimes the greatest advances can happen completely by accident. It's a great reminder that we should always be prepared for unexpected discoveries.

The discovery of the first antibiotic substance was made by Alexander Fleming in 1928, he accidentally noticed the antibacterial effect of the substance secreted by the fungus Penicillium notatum. Howard Florey purified this substance and using it, it became a systemic method.
