Best Answer

Joseph lister in 1928

This is debatable as some say it was Alexander Fleming in the same year

The discovery of penicillin is attributed to Scottish scientist and Nobel laureate Alexander Fleming in 1928. He showed that, if Penicillium notatum was grown in the appropriate substrate, it would exude a substance with antibiotic properties, which he dubbed penicillin.
