Today in history on 9/28/1928: Scottish biologist, pharmacologist and botanist-Sir Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin when he noted a bacteria-killing mold growing in his laboratory; it remained for Howard Florey and Ernst Chain to isolate the active ingredient, allowing the "miracle drug" to be developed in the 1940s. In 1945 three of them received the Noble Prize Award for this great discovery. 蘇格蘭生物學家暨藥理學家亞歷山大.弗萊明注意到實驗室培養皿中生長的黴菌具有殺菌功能,是為青霉素(盤尼西林)的濫觴. 但直到1941年才有機會首次測試在人類身上. 弗萊明因此與錢恩和弗洛里共同獲得了1945年諾貝爾獎. 軼事:一個網路廣為流傳的故事說弗萊明的農夫父親曾救過小時候的邱吉爾,邱吉爾之父出資讓弗萊明上學成才,而後邱吉爾本人又在二戰中因青霉素而從瀕死的疾病中獲救. 弗萊明給朋友的信中證實這是誤傳,而且後來挽救邱吉爾的藥物也不是青霉素.
