Penicillin has affected the lives of everyone, and has exerted a
powerful hold on the popular imagination since its first use in
1941. The story of its development from a chance observation in
1928 by Alexander Fleming to a life-saving drug is compelling and
exciting. It revolutionized healthcare and turned the modest,
self-effacing Fleming into a world hero. This book tells the story
of the man and his discovery set against a background of the
transformation of medical research from nineteenth-century
individualism through to teamwork and modern-day international big
business (pharmaceutical companies like Fisors, Distillers, or
Beecham (Smith Kline)). Now, sixty years after the antibiotic
revolution, when there are fears that the days of antibiotics are
numbered it has never been more timely to look at the beginnings.
