Great discoveries can come from unlikely sources. Penicillin is widely considered to be one of the most important medical discoveries in history, but it was not what Alexander Fleming was looking for when he found it in September 1928.
Fleming, a scientist from Scotland, returned to his laboratory after a holiday and found some mould on one of his plates of bacteria. He observed that the bacteria surrounding the mould were dead. Surprised by this, Fleming performed some tests. The results indicated that something produced by the mould had killed the bacteria. He was aware that it could be very useful for treating wounds.
For more than 10 years, Fleming had been researching penicillin and trying to make it into an effective medicine. Finally, his work caught the attention of some other scientists who were able to do it. Since its mass production began in the 1940s, penicillin has saved millions of lives.
One might think Fleming discovered penicillin by accident, but actually this is far from the truth. He was intelligent and experienced enough to notice its potential, and his hard work and determination helped get its mass production started. As Louis Pasteur said, “Fortune favours the prepared mind.”
