In 1928 bacteriologist Alexander Fleming made a chance discovery from a discarded contaminated petrie dish that the mould that had contaminated the experiment turned out to be a powerful antibiotic, penicillin. Florey and Chain worked out how to manufacture the penicillin and use it as a drug to combat bacterial infections, thus saving many lives.
