What was the First
Antibiotic made?
In 1928 penicillin, the first true antibiotic, was discovered by
Alexander Fleming, Professor of Bacteriology at St. Mary's Hospital
in London.
After isolating the mold and identifying it as belonging to
the Penicillium genus, Fleming obtained an extract from the mold,
naming its active agent penicillin. He determined that penicillin had
an antibacterial effect on staphylococci and other gram-positive
pathogens.
