In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming made a chance discovery from an already discarded, contaminated Petri dish. The mold that had contaminated the experiment turned out to contain a powerful antibiotic, penicillin. However, though Fleming was credited with the discovery, it was over a decade before someone else turned penicillin into the miracle drug for the 20th century. Twelve Years Later In 1940, the second year of World War II, two scientists at Oxford University were researching promising projects in bacteriology that could possibly be enhanced or continued with chemistry. Australian Howard Florey and German refugee Ernst Chain began working with penicillin. Using new chemical techniques, they were able to produce a brown powder that kept its antibacterial power for longer than a few days. They experimented with the powder and found it to be safe. Needing the new drug immediately for the war front, mass production started quickly. The availability of penicillin during World War II saved many lives that otherwise would have been lost due to bacterial infections in even minor wounds. Penicillin also treated diphtheria, gangrene, pneumonia, syphilis and tuberculosis. information gleaned from http://history1900s.about.com/od/medicaladvancesissues/a/penicillin.htm
No
penecillin mould was dicovered to have anti bacterial properties by the Australian Howard Florey and Ernest Chain. Alexander Fleming took the credit.
penecillin
no
That depends on what you are treating.
My doc said it was safe. I used it when i was 7 months
Penecillin
I can't go into great detail but i know that when it was invented by Alexander Flemming in 1928 it was entirely by chance. He left his lab window open and found a mould had grown in the petri dish by the window which turned out to be naturally occurring penecillin. So i presume it's called a happy accident because something good came out of a mistake made by whoever was responsible for not closing the windows!
Because he could not make it keep
Alexander Fleming 1928 Penicillin antibiotics are historically significant because they were the first drugs that were effective against many serious bacterial infections, and subsequent diseases associated. In addition this antibiotic can beat syphilis and staph infections.
Sir Alexander Flemming discopvered Penecillin. He was a scientist. It was through his discovery that he made a contribution to WWII and the Allies' victory because of how penecillin's medical benefits. -Roundrupert
no, hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid pain killer and penecillin is an antibiotic.
