a most important medical advance in history began by accident. one morning in 1928, professor alexander fleming of london university noticed in his cluttered laboratory that a mould had developed accidentally on a staphylococcus culture plate, and that the mould had created a bacteria-free circle around itself. after further research, he found that the mould could kill other bacteria as well as staphylocci. he called the mould penicillin.
