His name was Alexander, not Alexandra . . . he accidentally discovered that a type of fungus would kill bacteria when he accidentally got a bit of bread mold on a culture dish that had a good growth of bacteria on it. The mold killed the bacteria! When this type of fungus was refined, it became the active ingredient of the antibiotic, "Penicillin".
