SummaryPenicillin, derived from the soil mold Penicillium, was the primary antibiotic used to cure bacterial infections after being discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming. Briefly following its discovery and mass production bacteria began expressing resistance to this Nobel Prize winning medical breakthrough. Bacteria causing pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome, and gonorrhea were among many of the penicillin-resistant infections that arose over time and ultimately led to death. (Lewis)
