Joseph Lister did not discover antibiotics; he is best known for pioneering antiseptic surgical techniques in the 19th century. His work laid the foundation for modern infection control in surgery, but the discovery of antibiotics, such as penicillin, is credited to Alexander Fleming in 1928. Lister's contributions significantly reduced surgical infections but did not involve the development of antibiotic medications.
