The Discovery of Penicillin
THOUGH FLEMING UNDERSTOOD THE POTENTIAL OF PENICILLIN MOLD, HE WAS UNABLE TO ISOLATE THE ACTIVE ANTIBACTERIAL ELEMENT, PENICILLIN.
IN 1940, TVWO SCIENTISTS AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY, HOWARD FLOREY AND ERNST CHAIN WERE ABLE TO ISOLATE PENICILLIN.
IN 1941, CHARLES FLETCHER, A DOCTOR EMPLOYED AT A HOSPITAL IN OXFORD, CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR WORK.
HE HAD A PATIENT WHO WAS NEARLY ON THE VERGE OF DYING BECAUSE OF A BACTERIAL INFECTION IN HIS WOUNDS.
DR. FLETCHER USED SOME PENICILLIN ON THE PATIENT AND THE WOUND MADE A REMARKABLE RECOVERY.
ALL THE THREE MAIN SCIENTISTS FLEMING, FLOREY AND CHAIN WERE AWARDED THE 1945 NOBE PRIZE IN PHYSIO MEDICINE.
