Learn how Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin and how the antibiotic changed medicine and the treatment of infections.

—

In 1928, scientist Alexander Fleming returned to his lab and discovered something unexpected: a colony of mold growing on a petri dish he had forgotten to place in his incubator. And surrounding this colony of mold was an area that was completely and surprisingly free of bacteria. What was this mysterious phenomenon? Allison Ramsey and Mary Staicu detail the discovery of penicillin and how it transformed medicine.
