In 1928, Alexander Fleming made a discovery that would change medicine forever. After returning from vacation, he noticed something strange in one of his petri dishes—a mold had formed, and around it, bacteria had disappeared. This mold was later identified as Penicillium notatum, the source of the first antibiotic, penicillin. While Fleming couldn’t produce it in large amounts, scientists like Howard Florey and Ernst Chain figured out how to mass-produce it during World War II, saving countless lives.
