Alexander Fleming

(1881 – 1955)

Alexander Fleming came from a Scottish family of farmers. He was born on August 1881, at Lochfield, the youngest of eight children.

He did his research work at St. Mary’s Hospital under Sir Almroth Wright, pioneer of vaccine therapy, and became interested in bacterial action and antibacterial drugs. After military service, during which he was able to make further studies of the problems of infection and use of antiseptics, Fleming returned to laboratory work. He was interested in antibacterial substances which would be nontoxic to animal tissues.

The first fruit of his search was the discovery of the lysozyme. His epochal discovery in 1928, of the antibacterial powers of the mould from which penicillin is derived was a great triumph.

He found that a liquid mould culture, which he named penicillin, prevented growth of staphylococci.

He died on the 11^th of March, 1955 in London, and was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral. He is known as the “Father of antibiotics”.
