Alexander Fleming invited the antiobiotic called Penicillium in the year 1928. Alexander Fleming was a bacteriologist and made the discovery of Penicillium by chance from a contaminated Petri dish.
Sir Alexander Fleming was a Scottish biologist, pharmacologist and botanist. He is best known for his discovery of the enzyme lysozyme in 1923 and the antibiotic substance penicillin grown from mould in 1928.
Sir Alexander Fleming, FRSE, FRS, FRCS(Eng)(6 August 1881 - 11 March 1955) was a Scottish biologist,pharmacologist and botanist. He wrote many articles on bacteriology, immunology, and chemotherapy. His best-known discoveries are the enzyme lysozyme in 1923 and the antibiotic substance penicillin from the mouldPenicillium notatum in 1928, for which he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain.
In 1928, Fleming was working on the staphylococcibacteria - the kind that cause boils and sore throats, when, whilst he was examining some old bacterial plates that he noticed a mould had grown on one of his cultures. He saw what he believed was unusual in that some of the colonies of staphylococci that should have been growing near the mould had disappeared. Fleming thought that the mould could be making something that was capable of destroying the bacteria. He did some more experiments and found that this was indeed the case. He cultured the mould by growing it in broth. The mould was later identified as Penicillium notatum which had produced what we now call penicillin.

It wasn't really an invention; it was more of an accidental discovery. Alexander Fleming is credited with the discovery. On September 28, 1928, he noticed that a Petri dish that was accidentally left open got moldy, and there was an area around the mold where the culture in the dish would not grow. However, others had written about the antibacterial properties of Penicillium before Fleming.
The discovery of penicillin is attributed to Scottish scientist and nobel laureate Alexander Fleming. Alexander Fleming recounted that the date of his breakthrough was on the morning of Friday, September 28, 1928.
