Why was Alexander Fleming so important?
Alexander Fleming was a doctor and bacteriologist who discovered penicillin, receiving the Nobel Prize in 1945.Penicillin was the first antibiotic we ever had. His discovery was accidental but he was able to see the process behind it. He noticed that, on a plate used in Microbiology labs, that there was mold that wasn't supposed to be there. He also noticed that there was space around the mold and the bacteria growing there. The mold was making something that prevented the bacteria from growing any closer.When he studied that clear area, a product made by the mold was what prevented the bacteria from growing. The mold was Penicillin notatum. The product was called penicillin.
How were the effects of penicillin on bacteria discovered?
Through lots of trial and error plus a healthy dose of experimentation. Scientists have known about the effects of mold on bacteria for hundreds of years but couldn't find a way to definitively prove which molds were acting on which bacteria. In 1928 Sir Alexander Fleming noticed a halo shaped ring of bacteria growing around a spot of mold in a petri dish but the bacteria couldn't get close enough to the mold to eat it. He theroized something in the mold was killing off the bacteria as they tried to approach it. He grew a pure culture of the mold and found it was called penecillum notatum. It was from this mold he was able to extract pure penecillin.
