Discrepancy Creating 6

Alexander Fleming

Alexander Fleming was born in 1881on a farm in Scotland. He was the 3rd child with seven other brothers and sisters. After completing his education at Regent Street Polytechnic, London in 1897 took an office job for a few years. In 1901 he quit his job and went to St Mary's Hospital to study medicine. He then worked in Almroth Wright's research team as a research assistant with a huge interest in bacteriology. During the War between Britain and Germany in 1914 Fleming joined the British Royal Army Medical Corps to develop a cure to reduce the number of soldiers dying due to infected wounds. He argued that the antiseptics were not effective in preventing wounds from becoming infected. His argument was however rejected and little was done to relieve the suffering of many wounded soldiers.

When World War 1 was over Alexander Fleming continued to work at St Mary's Hospital. One day in 1928 before tossing some old petri dishes of culture away he made an accidental discovery of a blue mould growing on the culture of some harmful bacteria. The mould seemed to be able to kill of the bacteria. A series of experiments later proved his findings and led to the discovery of penicillin. It was a strain of penicillin which could kill off bacteria while not causing any damage to wounds. It worked against many kinds of bacteria and was mostly safe for the human body. Unfortunately, with insufficient support from the medical community, the research had to stop.

Finally in the late 1930s, other scientists found a way to mass-produce penicillin. British and American drug companies began to manufacture the drug in large quantities. It was then used to cure many infections during World War II. In 1945, Fleming was presented the Nobel Prize for Medicine. He humbly said, "Nature makes penicillin; I just found it." Fleming spent the rest of his career at St. Mary's Hospital until his death in 1955 of a sudden heart attack. Fleming was married twice and had one son.
