Penicillin is an antibiotic given to the patient to eliminate the pathogenic bacteria, and can be taken in the form of injections or syrup or pills, the first antibiotic was discovered, and in turn to revolutionize the field of medicine and the treatment of diseases and alleviate the symptoms, we to Now, when we feel any health problems or a particular disease, the doctor describes us in some cases as antibiotics to treat the disease, and relieve the symptoms, and may be penicillin among them.
Penicillin discovered the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming in 1982, and discovered that the fungus of penicillium may be used to kill some species of bacteria. Alexander Fleming was a pharmacist and distinguished himself with his research in biology. At the beginning of his life, he was interested in the subject of sterilization and its correct methods for disease prevention. He joined the First World War in the army to treat the wounded, and most of his attention was that the drugs given to the wounded to treat them The cells damage and cause more harm than the microbes themselves. He thinks he needs a treatment that destroys the microbes without harming the cells themselves. When the war ended, he returned to his laboratory carrying the idea.
One night while he was inspecting the dishes where he kept the bacteria for experiments, he found that they had been poisoned and died because of exposure to air, and one of these dishes contained mold also died, and the bacteria in the dish has died, analyzed a sample of mold Which was discovered to be one of the fungal psyllium strains, to conclude that it was this mold that caused the death of the bacteria and did not harm the human or animal.
He tried to spread his discovery but found many objections that were not convinced by penicillin as a way to eradicate bacteria only after World War II was used to treat the wounded and help them recover. Penicillin was officially treated to eliminate some pathogenic bacteria. The British researchers, Howard Fleury and Ernst Qin in the re-testing of Flemming around penicillin, and supported the word until it was recognized, and after the discovery of penicillin and as a formal treatment began the journey of discoveries of antibiotics that kill some species of bacteria causing disease.
It should be noted that there have been many observations about the effect of penicillium mushroom from time immemorial, but no one reached the final discovery of the method of extraction or its direct effect.
