The Discovery of Penicillin
The discoverers of penicillin "The most valuable disease-fighting chemical in existence" are, Professors Alexander Fleming of the University of London, and Howey Florey of Oxford University. Only a few scientific have received so much acclaim as the mild drug secreted by mold similar to the common fungus growth on cheese and stale bread. Scientists normally disapprove of such terms as "miracle worker, and "wonder drug" but penicillin's power to cure infection, where all other drugs fail, and to work without harmful effect has caused even its original discoverer, Alexander Fleming, to admit" people have called it a miracle. for ounce in my life i agree it is a miracle and it will save a thousand lives."
