	TIME 100: Alexander Fleming
		The improbable chain of events that led Alexander Fleming to discover penicillin in 1928 is the stuff of which scientific myths are made.
		Fleming, a young Scottish research scientist with a profitable side practice treating the syphilis infections of prominent London artists, was pursuing his pet theory — that his own nasal mucus had antibacterial effects — when he left a culture plate smeared with Staphylococcus bacteria on his lab bench while he went on a two-week holiday.
		Fleming was born to a Scottish sheep-farming family in 1881.

		Fleming, having acquired a good basic education in local schools, followed a stepbrother, already a practicing physician, to London when he was thirteen.
		Fleming's experience administering the new drug to patients was positive, and thereafter he maintained a small but lucrative practice administering salvarsan to wealthy patients suffering from syphilis.
		Fleming's legendary discovery of penicillin occurred in 1928, while he was investigating staphylococcus, a common bacteria that causes boils but can also cause disastrous infections in patients with weakened immune systems.

	Alexander Fleming (1881-1955): a noble life in science
		Fleming quite deliberately did not clean his petri dishes each day, but would look at them weeks later; and although his laboratory was focussed on immunotherapy, he did not disregard chemotherapy.
		Alec Fleming was the son of a Scottish farming family, born in Loudon, a village in the moorlands of Ayrshire, on 6 August 1881.
		Fleming's research there showed that the bacteria responsible for gas gangrene and tetanus - two great scourges of the trenches - were able to grow in the anaerobic depths of the terrible wounds; moreover, antiseptics did not reach these areas, sometimes exacerbating the condition by harming cells that defend the body.

	Biography on Sir Alexander Fleming
		Fleming was not like most scientist, he was very disorganised, he left thing all over his lab, and only cleaned things when it was necessary.
		Alexander Fleming had found what he was looking for, he called it penicillin.
		"Fleming became world-famous for penicillin, and was rightly acknowledged as the father of modern antibiotics, but Florey was miffed at being denied much of the credit for creating the powerful medical tool we now know" (http://clio.cshl.org/public/history/scientists/fleming.html).

		The weak concentrations of lysozyme Fleming was using, however, prevented him from seeing the broad antibiotic properties of lysozyme, and tthe broader medical applications of this discovery went unappreciated for years, by Fleming and everyone else at the time.
		Fleming made this discovery in 1928 and by 1929 had named it penicillin (he was told by a colleague that the mold was a type of Penicillium and "penicillozyme" must have seemed cumbersome).
		Fleming became world-famous for penicillin, and was rightly acknowledged as the father of modern antibiotics, but Florey was just as rightly miffed at being denied much of the credit for creating the powerful medical tool we now know.

	Penicillin, The Wonder Drug
		Fleming was examining a culture of Staphylococcus aureus, a pathogenic bacterium on which he was doing some research, when he noticed that it had become contaminated by a species of Penicillium.
		Fleming only continued to work on and off with with penicillin between 1928-1931, but was unable to produce it in the quantity necessary for testing or practical applications.
		Fleming found that, under the conditions which he was growing his mold, penicillin was unstable and the culture stopped producing penicillin after eight days.
