Sir Alexander Fleming was the accidental discover of penecillin. While doing other research on microbes, he accidentally found out the the penicillium mold inhibits the growth of bacteria around it in colonies on Petri culture dishes. Nothing was known about these "antibiotic" properties at the time. The rest is the history of millions of saved lives. Dr. Fleming was knighted for his discovery. Joe.

Aditionally, Fleming is a Scotsman.
