penicillin comes from mold. A scientist was experimenting with bacterial cultures when they were ruined by mold growing on them and he asked why. The result was penicillin. Other scientists had noticed the same thing years previously but had not asked why.

Can humans take animal penicillin?
Penicillin G is made for humans and animals. " Pen Strep" refers to a mixture solution of one part Penicillin and One part streptomycin. It is a standard antibiotic used for a wide range of gram negative and gram positive bacteria in both animals and humans. You wouldn't want to use animal penicillin on a human because animal penicillin often comes in a higher or lower dose dependent on factors such as weight and lbs per milligram rules. As with any Antibiotic drug....You could overdose and cause serious injury and possibly death. You could under dose which could lead the bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotic which in case, would only lead to the need of another antibiotic to cure the infection.
