I did my research paper on the discovery of Penicillin. Though my research on the topic I found that the discovery of Penicillin was an accident. Fleming had left a petri dish on a lab table with bacteria in it while he went on vacation. When he came back, he found that the petri dish was contaminated with a mold that produced a yellow substance which was slowing down bacterial growth.
. He did some more research and found that this mold was from the Penicillium group. Therefore, he gave it the name Penicillin.
I also found that Penicillin cures a variety of diseases. These disease include strep throat, scarlet fever, pneumonia, blood poisoning, meningitis, diphtheria and rheumatic fever. Who knew one drug could kill some many sicknesses?!
