ALEXANDER FLEMING AND PENICILLIN Penicillin was the first antibiotic, the first "wonder drug." By the end of World War II, it was widely available and had already saved millions of lives. Was its discovery a " ... pure chance ..." or " ... the greatest fortune ...?" Was it one of those " ... things (that) fall out of the air ..."? In other words, was this breakthrough just pure luck? A modest Scottish physician and research biologist used those phrases when describing his role in the development of penicillin. Alexander Fleming's first public presentation of his newly-discovered "mold juice" received very little reaction from the British medical community. In less than 20 years, people all over the world were aware of it, due to the additional efforts of two other men: Howard Florey (an Australian) and Ernst Chain (a German). Together those three men were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine. Alexander Fleming was born on August 6, 1881 in Lochfield, Ayrshire, Scotland. A childhood accident in a school playground left him with a broken nose. For the rest of his life, he looked more like a battered prizefighter than a medical man. At the age of 20 Fleming got a scholarship to attend St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London. After graduation in 1906, he was hired by Sir Almroth Wright at St. Mary's as a research bacteriologist.

Alexander fleming and the discovery of penicillin The British bacteriologist Sir Alexander Fleming was born August 6, 1881. During his years of research on antibiotics, he discovered penicillin. Born in Lochfield, Scotland, this son of a Scottish farmer was reared on a big farm. When his father died, Alexander (or, Alec) took over the running of the farm. Tom Fleming, one of Alexander’s brothers, left home to study medicine and opened his own practice in London. Sometime after that, four of the Fleming brothers and one sister all lived together in London. Alec went to London when he was only 14 years old and after finishing school, he worked at a shipping firm. By 1900, the Boer War had begun between the United Kingdom and its colonies in southern Africa. Alec and two of his brothers joined a Scottish regiment. When Alec's uncle died, he left Alec and each of his siblings 250 pounds, and Tom Fleming encouraged Alec to study medicine and join him in his practice. bodyOffer(32990) After reaching top scores on the examinations, Alec had the freedom to choose which medical school he wanted to attend. He chose St. Mary’s in London and decided on the study of bacteriology. After graduating with merit in 1906, he studied in London under Sir Almroth Wright, a pioneer in vaccine therapy. By 1909, Paul Ehrlich, a German chemist and physician, had unearthed a treatment for syphilis from a chemical called salvarsan. Very few physicians were allowed to even administer this special treatment, but Dr. Alec Fleming was chosen as one of them, and in no time his practice doubled with patients.

En un demi-siècle, elle a sans doute sauvé des millions de malades et épargné bien des souffrances. Pourtant, non seulement Alexander Fleming l'a découverte par hasard; mais, en plus, il n'a pas réalisé la portée de sa découverte, dont on vient de célébrer le 70ème anniversaire. Voici une histoire extraordinaire. Celle d'un homme certes brillant, mais tellement modeste qu'il nia jusqu'à la paternité de sa découverte. Et qui, pourtant, reçut le prix Nobel, et a son nom en lettres d'or au fronton du Panthéon de la Gloire, à Londres. Étonnant destin. Alexander Fleming est né le 6 août 1881 dans la ferme familiale "Low Ploughland", située dans le fin fond de l'Écosse. Rien ne prédestinait le jeune Alexander à devenir chercheur. Il aurait pu tout aussi bien rester à la ferme car, lorsque son père meurt, il n'avait que 7 ans. L'un de ses frères, Tom, installé comme médecin à Londres, fit venir Alexander, et deux de ses frères, dans la capitale britannique. Alexander suit les cours de la section commerciale de la Polytechnic school, dans Regent Street. Bon élève, il obtient facilement son diplôme. Il est engagé à seize ans comme... employé aux écritures dans une compagnie de navigation. Tom s'émeut de voir son jeune frère s'enfermer dans une carrière sans rapport avec son intelligence. À la faveur d'un héritage, il encourage Alexander à s'inscrire à l'École de Médecine de l'hôpital de Saint-Mary's. Nous sommes en 1901. Alexander Fleming sera reçu premier et "médaille d'or" à tous les examens.

SCOTTISH HEROES: Sir Alexander Fleming It is hard to believe that one of the greatest medical discoveries of all time came about because a relatively unknown microbiologist did not tidy up his laboratory prior to going on holiday. On his return from his break he discovered that some mould had formed on the now defunct pre-holiday experiment. He saw that the mould, which had developed purely by accident on a culture plate, had created a bacteria free circle around itself. He was inspired to experiment further and over the course of the next eight months found a mould culture that prevented growth of bacteria. The microbiologist was Alexander Fleming and he named the active substance penicillin. Fleming was born at Lochfield near Darvel in Ayrshire, Scotland, on August 6th, 1881. In 1906 he qualified with distinction from St Mary's Medical School, London University. Early in his medical career he became interested in the natural bacterial action of the blood and in antiseptics. It was during his work in this area that the "accident" took place. He wrote a paper, which suggested that the substance, penicillin, could be used as a tropical anti-infectant. This was met with considerable scepticism by his colleagues. He stopped his work on penicillin and concentrated his efforts on matters he considered to be of more medical importance.

Alexander Fleming had been working on lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in tears; it digests the cell walls of bacteria and helps to prevent infection. Alexander Fleming noticed that a culture dish of staphylococcus had accidentally become infected with some mould. The mould was identified as Penecillium notatum . The effect of the mould had been to prevent the bacteria from growing. About 15 years later Florey and Chain were able to extract the antibiotic penecillin from a culture of P notatum Last revised 12 April 2001 For more information about these pages nigel@purchon.net

Por Carme Padilla Noelia Costa Riu Alexander Fleming: De un descubrimiento casual al abuso en nuestros días El gran avance moderno de la quimioterapia procede del descubrimiento fortuito del hecho que los microorganismos sintetizan y excretan (expulsan al exterior de la célula) compuestos que son selectivamente tóxicos para otros microorganismos. Alexander Fleming fue un bacteriólogo que en la década de los años 20 se interesó mucho por el tratamiento de las infecciones producidas por las heridas. En 1929 Fleming, después de haber vuelto de unas vacaciones, se percató que en una pila de placas olvidadas antes de su marcha, donde había estado cultivando una bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, había crecido también un hongo en el lugar donde se había inhibido el crecimiento de la bacteria. Resultó que el hongo "fabricaba" una substancia que producía la muerte de la bacteria; como el hongo pertenecía a la especie Penicillium, Fleming estableció que la substancia que producía sería denominada "penicilina". Aunque con frecuencia se ha comentado que varios microbiólogos hicieron el mismo tipo de observaciones que el inglés, sin llegar a su nivel de fama, esta especulación no se ha podido comprobar ni, por tanto, afirmar nunca. Tal y como se ha podido demostrar en experimentos posteriores, en el "descubrimiento" de Fleming, coincidieron una serie de acontecimientos para que se produjeran los resultados que todos conocemos: la placa no se puso a incubar en estufa de 37ºC (el crecimiento de la bacteria habría sobrepasado al del hongo) y además la temperatura del laboratorio no era superior a 12ºC (según se cree, hubo una tormenta de frío en Londres en aquel verano de 1929).

Alexander Fleming was born on the 6th of August, 1881 at Lochfield Farm, Darvel, Ayrshire. He went to work as a shipping clerk in London, where when he was aged 20, he inherited some money. He had always wanted to become a doctor, and so in 1901, he enrolled at St Mary's Hospital Medical School, London. He was good at research and five years later joined the research department at St Mary's, where he was assistant bacteriologist to Sir Almroth Wright. Fleming and Wright were involved in inoculation of servicemen against typhoid during the First World War. Fleming discovered that the antiseptics used to treat wounds were more harmful than they were good as they destroyed the bodies natural defences. Back at St Mary's in 1918, Fleming continued his work on bacteria. It was there in 1928 that he made his greatest discovery. What did he discover?

For the first time there was an effective drug available against many common infections which once were life-threatening or had long-term consequences but can now be quickly cleared up with a simple antibiotic. No bigger than an office At the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum, it is possible to see Fleming's laboratory recreated as it was on 3 September 1928 when a mysterious mould contaminated a culture plate of bacteria. Ever observant Fleming noticed that this mould had produced something which seemed to dissolve the bacteria. He had discovered penicillin. An exhibition and a video tell the story of how Fleming then attempted to purify penicillin so it could be used to treat patients, but failed. It was left to Howard Florey and Ernst Chain of the University of Oxford to develop a life saving drug from Fleming's chance discovery.
