john Fleming did not discover penicillin but sir Alexander Fleming did.sir alexander Fleming was a Scottish scientist . he usually put lids on the dishes,but one day he forgot some time later he noticed that some bacteria in these dishes had died. Fleming investigated this he found that the bacteria had been killed by a mould(a type of fungus)called penicillium,which must have got into the dishes that were left uncovered.
