Learn how Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, and how the antibiotic has changed medicine and the treatment of infections.
--
In 1928, scientist Alexander Fleming returned to his lab and found something unexpected: a colony of mold growing on a Petri dish he’d forgotten to place in his incubator. And around this colony of mold was a zone completely and surprisingly clear of bacteria. What was this mysterious phenomenon? Allison Ramsey and Mary Staicu detail the discovery of penicillin and how it transformed medicine.

Alexander Fleming had first discovered penicillin by accident in 1928, but at that time believed it had little application. When Florey and his team recognised the potential of the discovery for combating bacterial infection, they faced the problem of how to manufacture penicillin in sufficient quantities to be of use. Heatley, although the junior member of the team, possessed a natural gift for ingenuity and invention. It was he who suggested transferring the active ingredient of penicillin back into water by changing its acidity, thus purifying the penicillin. Although Fleming received most of the credit for the discovery of penicillin, it was Florey who carried out the first clinical trials of penicillin in 1941 at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford on the first patient, a police constable from Oxford. The patient started to recover, but subsequently died because Florey was unable, at that time, to make enough penicillin. It was Florey and Chain who actually made a useful and effective drug out of penicillin, after the task had been abandoned as too difficult. From Wikipedia Florey Chain and Heatley
@seanlander9321

Florey wasn’t going to give up. Interestingly the mould that penicillin is still derived from today is the same one that was found on a rock melon at a farmer’s market and cultured by the Florey team.

Another reason for the rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria is due to some not finishing what has been prescribed. By not finishing the prescription entirely, not all of the bacteria are done away with, so those surviving bacteria build up a resistance to whatever almost wiped them out. When receiving antibiotics it’s very important to take the prescription the whole way through even if you don’t have anymore signs or symptoms.

One of the few times I am part of the 1% Penicillin and related β-lactam antibiotics give me a severe rash, eczema, and upset stomach. But I can also enjoy cheeses that contain P. Camemberti (Camemberts, brie, cambozola) and P. Roqueforti (roquefort, Gorgonzola, almost all blue cheeses) without issue. And yes, this has been confirmed in adulthood for me. Usually the doctor has to go for Cephalospirn C and some other antibiotic to make it work.

@@tlowry6338 Even if there are plenty of antibiotics out there, that doesn't mean you want to have closed doors to their use. If you're severely allergic to oranges, sure, you can eat other fruit, but that doesn't mean you don't want to be able to eat oranges like anyone else. And if you end up starving with only oranges as your potential source of food, you kind of wish it wasn't deeply unpleasant or life threatening to eat them. Obviously, being allergic to penicillin isn't the same as being allergic to oranges, but the idea is that having your options be restricted is generally not something you want, and is typically something you do care about.

Penicillin saved my father's life when he was 20 years old in 1943. As a consequence, he became so enthusiastic about antibiotics, he popped a pill if he ever sneezed more than once (for real). In his late 60's, he contracted an infection while in a hospital for a minor procedure, and no amount of sophisticated modern antibiotics were able to save his life. As a consequence, I steer clear of antibiotics (propolis included), unless it is a case of life and death.

It's ridiculous how much doctors push antibiotics on you. I had to get a boil on my finger lanced and the doc wanted me to take them. I asked instead if there was something I could do to keep it clean. He'd already cleaned the area with iodine, and told me to soak it in antibacterial soap for 10 minutes at home. I don't even think that was necessary, I could have just kept the area clean with regular soap and water. We treat our bodies like they have no immune system to begin with. I really think the hygene hypothesis is right in some cases. Obviously you need antibacterials in more severe cases, but we need to be more like Europe when it comes to stuff like this.

You have to give credit and admire someone that states "I accidentally discovered this" instead of claiming self ingenuity like others in history; for example: "I invented the light bulb"

@@nikhilhadbe271 My point... (especially theses days) when they study (or try to create) infectious bacteria (or a new germ bio-weapon) it isn't a stretch to ALSO work on anti-bacterial agents (or the cure for the bio-weapon)... He could have EASILY announced in a publication/paper that he decided to also work on a potential anti-bacteria to counter the bad bacteria and then... (once he did his research on the spores) "had a eureka moment"...

Misread the title as "the *accent* that changed the world". While disappointing that this was not actually the topic, the video was still interesting.

I didn't understand what accident you were talking about? until I saw those first lines on the second scene of the video, and when I thought of penicillin, the Penicillium fungi, Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming, and the word " first antibiotic " immediately came to mind.

This video totally underplays the important role played by Howard Florey in the penecillin storey.

Another great example of why humans must not neglect nature and the knowledge we can derive from it. ** Instead of destroying natural habitats and ecosystems that saved us and could still save us in the future**

Would you believe if penicillin was discovered nowadays? Groups would spread misinformation about penicillin allergy, theories about it. Or would avoid using it when is necessary because they don't want mold-derivates compounds enter their body

Keflex had saved me from several infections in my lifetime. One particular severe throat infection in particular. I caught that aggressive infection at Yosemite National Park, of all places.
