Although its discovery was an accident, Penicillin was one of the earliest discovered antibiotic agents. Penicillin was originally noticed in 1896, it was then re-discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming ,with the help from two other scientists. The question this odd discovery leaves the world wondering; how was this a accident? It all started one day in September of 1928 when, former bacteriologist Alexander Fleming went on vacation, his laboratory was not very clean or orderly. While away a stray mold spore flew through the open window, and landed on one of Fleming's petri dishes. All the other dishes that were left in the open were all covered in mold. The one dish that quickly stood out to Fleming was the one that was full of bacteria.
