Penicillin was discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, a Scottish bacteriologist. He observed that a mold called Penicillium notatum had antibacterial properties when it contaminated one of his petri dishes. This discovery led to the development of penicillin as the first widely used antibiotic, revolutionizing medicine and the treatment of bacterial infections.
