 Florey & Chain – 1940 first penicillin clinical trials (good strain isolated
from a moldy cantaloupe in Peoria)
 More than half of the antibiotics are produced from Streptomyces, a
filamentous bacterium, and a few other bacteria. Some other antibiotics are
produced by molds (For example Penicillium and Cephalosporium).
