Penicillin discovery and use
Alexander Flemming was the first to think of an antibacterial substance in the fungus fungus. Alexander worked on the discovery of the active substance, called penicillin, but he did not use it for medical discovery, but Ernest Chen, Howard Fleury and Norman Hitley, On penicillin production, and penicillin has been shown to be effective on most disease-causing bacteria, including tetanus tetanus, meningococcal, structural hemorrhagic, pneumococcal, streptococcus, leprosy, which leads to syphilis and others.
