Most important discovery after the fire and the cooking of food. People have no idea how important it is to have anti biotics and how many died before it on simple infections or lost limbs and what not. After penicillin, the discovery of blood types by the Austrian doctor is the most important discovery imo.

The final episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark is about a girl who dies from taking a penicillin shot. It has been about 20 years since I last saw it but it's the one episode I can never forget. Still frightens me till the day. I understand why some might be hesitant from taking it.

I know we are used to calling it an accident but imagine if it had been someone else instead of Fleming. The world population would have been much smaller if Fleming had been a less observant guy. So yeah hats off to this guy. He deserves a dozen Nobel prizes at the least.

Thanks. I thought this would just be the classic story of the serendipitous discovery of penicillin, but as someone told as a child that I have a penicillin-allergy, the last part was extremely informative.

Discovered by accident by a Brit, isolated as medicine by an Australian and mass produced and sold to the world by the US. Its really comforting to hear stories of human achievements like this

Through TED-Ed, I can learn something new even at least in just a few minutes. This is what I think why it celebrates learning and education. Thank you for coming into my life, TED.

If penicillin destroys bacteria cells because it disrupts the cell walls construction, would it also destroy plant cells since they also have cell walls?
