An outstanding English physician Alexander Fleming was born in
1881.He performed his research work at one of the hospitals in
London and became interested in bacterial action and antibacterial
drugs. Accidentally he discovered a substance which was not toxic to
the tissues and stopped the growth of the most common pathogenic
bacteria. Fleming called it “penicillin”. He was in the middle of his
career when World War I began. He served in the Royal Army
Medical Corp. In 1942 Fleming tried his own experiment. His friend
was very ill, even dying. After several injections of penicillin the man
was cured. It marked the beginning of penicillin treatment. Fleming
received the Nobel Prize for his great discovery.
