Info Home Edinburgh Glasgow Robert Bruce ... Whisky Famous Scots: Sir Alexander Fleming Born 1881, Lochfield Farm, Darvel, Ayrshire Died Alexander Fleming worked as clerk in London until 1901 when he began to study medicine. He proved to be a good researcher so joined research department of St Mary's Hospital, London in 1906. He was to spend his entire working life here. Horrified by his experiences in France in WW1 he swore to find medicines which would alleviate infection of wounds. In 1928 an unwashed and bacterially infected flask appeared to be disinfected by mould which had grown from airborne spores. Penicillin's use in combating bacterium had been discovered. Strangely Fleming didn't follow up his discovery after publishing his results in 1929. From his initial work antibiotics were developed and added to the weapons at the hands of doctors. Millions of people worldwide owe there lives to Sir Alexander's discovery. Fleming was knighted in 1944 and won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.

Surname: Famous Scots - Sir Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) Born at Lochfield Farm near Darvel, in Ayrshire, Fleming moved to London when he was 13, after the death of his father. He worked as a shipping clerk for five years and then became a medical student at St Mary's in Paddington, part of London University. He was a brilliant student and after graduation he joined the bacteriology lab at St Mary's, under Almroth Wright. During the First World War, Fleming saw at first hand the failure of current antiseptics to treat infected wounds and after the war he returned to St Mary's to find a solution to the problem. Initially, he developed the use of antityphoid vaccines and discovered lysozyme which had some limited use as a food preservative. In 1928 he discovered that a culture of staphylococcus bacteria had been accidentally infected by an airborne mould which had destroyed the bacteria. This was to transform the treatment of infected wounds with penicillin. The difficulties of developing the fragile substance commercially meant that it took 15 years before it could be produced in large quantities but two Oxford biochemists Howard Florey and Ernst Chan succeeded. Initial supplies were used exclusively by the armed forces and undoubtedly saved thousands of lives. Fleming was knighted in 1944 and Fleming, Florey and Chan received the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1945. Fleming did not patent penicillin, hoping that this would help to develop the product as a cheap and effective drug.

What Goes Around . . . Claim: The father of Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, saved a young Winston Churchill from drowning. In gratitude, Churchill's father paid for Fleming's education. Status: False. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1999] His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.

Scottish bacteriologist whose discovery of penicillin (1928) prepared the way for the highly effective practice of antibiotic therapy for infectious diseases Fleming shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945 with Ernst Boris Chain and Howard Walter Florey , who both (from 1939) carried Fleming 's basic discovery further in the isolation, purification, testing, and quantity production of penicillin. After taking his degree at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, London University (1906), Fleming conducted experiments to discover antibacterial substances that would be nontoxic to human tissues. He continued his research while serving with distinction in the Royal Army Medical Corps in World War I. In 1918 he returned to research and teaching at St. Mary's; he became Hunterian professor (1919) and Arris and Gale lecturer (1928) at the Royal College of Surgeons. In 1921 Fleming identified and isolated lysozyme , an enzyme found in certain animal tissues and secretions, such as tears and saliva, that exhibits antibiotic activity. While working with

Sir Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) Scientist and Nobel Laureate Sir Alexander Fleming photographed at Prize-Giving (alongside a young Frank Donnelly). Alexander Fleming enrolled in Kilmarnock Academy on 28 August 1894. The son of a farmer, he was born at Lochfield, a farm near Darvel to the east of Kilmarnock. At the time Kilmarnock Academy was the Higher Class school for most of north and east Ayrshire and so it was there he was sent to complete his education.

His most recent biographer, Gwyn Macfarlane states that he was a pupil for eighteen months, leaving in the summer of 1895. If the Macfarlane is right in the length Fleming was a pupil at the Academy, then this must mean he left in the summer of 1896. However if Macfarlane is right in dating of Fleming's leaving school, then it would appear he was a pupil for only one session. Macfarlane describes Fleming as being

Text Only 1955: Farewell to scientist who discovered penicillin 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.
