Extractions: 'I'd like to emphasise, first of all we didn't work with Sir Alexander Fleming, I hardly knew him. Fleming's work was done ten years before the work in Oxford, but we just happened to to work on the substance that he discovered ... '[Also, the penicillin research] was not done because of the war, it was started before the war. This is another things that's stated, that we did this because of the war. This is not true at all.' In 1929 Florey and his colleague, Dr Ernest Chain decided to focus their research on this Penicillin . They discovered how to produce an effective and safe antibacterial agent from the raw mould juice and designed mass production methods - painstaking and extremely difficult work. In order to produce the raw mould juice, they had to grow huge amounts of the mould in order to extract the vitra broth that formed underneath it, which contained the Penicillin . It was not easy to keep the mould in a state that yielded the best results. Fortunately, Chain discovered that the process worked better on ice. Yet, after several months, they only had a single pinch of good quality Penicillin powder. This precious powder was tested on eight mice, with remarkable results, proving the effectiveness of

Extractions: Penicillin was the first antibiotic drug and it was first used to cure soldiers in World War II. Penicillin is almost completely harmless, even in large doses. But the present for of penicillin has changed greatly because bacteria has made antibodies against this medicine. Alexander Fleming died in 1955.

http://www.britannia.com/bios/fleming.html

Extractions: It is so difficult to imagine a world without penicillin, the wonder drug that saves so many thousands of lives each year in every country of the world and that helps cure so many different diseases. Alexander Fleming, from Lockfield, Ayr was the man responsible for its discovery in 1928; thus he led the way for the widespread, universally accepted practice of antibiotic therapy for infectious diseases. Fleming graduated from London University Medical School in 1906. He continuing to research antibacterial substances that would prove non-toxic to human tissues while he was serving with the Royal Army Medical Corps in World War I. He later joined the staff of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1928. While working with staphylococcus bacteria, he happened to notice that a bacteria-free circle had grown around a growth of mold that had been contaminating a staph culture. He called the substance penicillin that had prevented the growth of the bacteria. His startling discovery was published in British Journal of Experimental Pathology. In addition to penicillin (which he did very little to promote), Fleming also discovered lysozyme, an anti-bacterial agent that is found in human tears and saliva. He received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945 (along with Ernst Chain and Howard Florey, both of whose continued work had helped in the purification, testing and quantity production of penicillin, all of which was necessary for the drug to be accepted, and thus making Fleming famous.)

Extractions: Send it to a friend! Fleming was a farmer's son from Ayrshire in Scotland. He moved to London at the age of 13 and later trained as a doctor. In 1928 Fleming was research assistant to Sir Almroth Wright working on bacteria. He accidentally discovered a mould on a set of culture dishes, which were being used to grow the staphylococci germ (which turns wounds septic). Fleming noticed that where there was mould the germs had stopped developing. It was one of Fleming's colleagues who identified the mould as penicillin. Fleming subsequently tested the penicillin on animals, with no ill effects, and also used it to cure a colleague's eye infection. After his initial discovery, Fleming did little more than keep a supply of the mould and return to his routine work. It was the scientists Howard Florey and Ernst Chain who developed penicillin further. Florey and Chain were chiefly responsible for the research which led to its success as a drug, although Fleming took most of the credit for the discovery and its subsequent development. Fleming had discovered the first antibiotic. However, it was not until the research work of Florey and Chain that penicillin could be produced as a drug. At first supplies of penicillin were very limited, but by World War II it was being mass-produced by the American drugs industry, and given to all soldiers before active service.

Extractions: Alexander Fleming was born in a remote, rural part of Scotland. The seventh of eight siblings and half-siblings, his family worked an 800-acre farm a mile from the nearest house. The Fleming children spent much of their of time ranging through the streams, valleys, and moors of the countryside. "We unconsciously learned a great deal from nature," said Fleming. When their father died, Fleming's eldest brother inherited the running of the farm. Another brother Tom had studied medicine and was opening a practice in London. Soon, four Fleming brothers and a sister were living together in London. Alec, as he was called, had moved to London when he was about 14, and went to the Polytechnic School in Regent Street. Tom encouraged him to enter business. After completing school he was employed by a shipping firm, though he didn't much like it. In 1900, when the Boer War broke out between the United Kingdom and its colonies in southern Africa, Alec and two brothers joined a Scottish regiment. This turned out to be as much a sporting club as anything; they honed their shooting, swimming, and even water polo skills, but never went to the Transvaal. Soon after this, the Flemings' uncle died and left them each 250 pounds. Tom's medical practice was now thriving and he encouraged Alec to put his legacy toward the study of medicine. Fleming took top scores in the qualifying examinations, and had his choice of medical schools. He lived equally close to three different schools, and knowing little about them, chose St. Mary's because he had played water polo against them. In 1905 he found himself specializing as a surgeon for almost as random a reason. His switch to bacteriology was even more surprising: if he took a position as a surgeon, he would have to leave St. Mary's. The captain of St. Mary's rifle club knew that and was desperate to improve his team. Knowing that Fleming was a great shot he did all he could to keep him at St. Mary's. He worked in the Inoculation Service and he convinced Fleming to join his department in order to work with its brilliant director and to join the rifle club. Fleming would stay at St. Mary's for the rest of his career.

Extractions: In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming made a chance discovery from an already discarded, contaminated Petri dish. The mold that had contaminated the experiment turned out to contain a powerful antibiotic, penicillin. However, though Fleming was credited with the discovery, it was over a decade before someone else turned penicillin into the miracle drug for the 20th century. How did this Petri dish almost get cleaned before being noticed? How did the mold get onto the dish? Who transformed penicillin into a useful drug?

Extractions: Sir Alexander Fleming - the man who first discovered the life-saving drug penicillin - has died of a heart attack. He was 73. Sir Alexander died suddenly at his home in London. He was married only two years ago to Dr Amalia Coutsouris, from Athens, who worked at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington. His first wife, with whom he had a son, died in 1949. For many years, Sir Alexander was Professor of Bacteriology in the University of London and until last year was head of the Wright-Fleming Institute of Micro-Biology at St Mary's hospital, Paddington. The young scientist served in a battlefield hospital laboratory in France during World War I. When he saw how many soldiers were dying from infections he became determined to find a cure. His first notable discovery was lysozyme in 1922. It is a naturally-occurring antibacterial substance, found in tears and other body fluids.

http://www.cshl.org/public/History/scientists/fleming.html

Extractions: Fleming was born to a Scottish farming family. He left home with his brother for London; Robert became an oculist, "Alec" went to medical school. He became associated with St. Mary's Hospital, the youngest of London's teaching hospitals, and remained there for his entire career. He worked with Almroth Wright, a major advocate of vaccines who developed vaccines for many microbial diseases and was keenly interested in the immune system. Wright became head of the newly created "Inoculation Department" at St. Mary's, an essentially autonomous entity within the hospital. The Inoculation Department was financially self-supporting, on the basis of the vaccines they developed, sold, and treated patients with. During World War I, Fleming was one of Wright's primary assistants in a major effort to combat the rampant infections and septicemia in British soldiers' wounds. Physicians had only recently accepted Lister's protocols for antiseptic surgery and assumed that since germs caused infection and antiseptics killed germs, that antiseptics must cure infections. Wright and Fleming argued conversely that the leukocytes of the immune system were the body's most important line of defense against infection and that most antiseptics killed leukocytes more rapidly than they killed bacteria. The best treatment for infection, they said, was simply washing with copious saline. Few physicians, however, could believe this advice, which seemed to go against the latest and most profound advances in surgical technique for many years.
