Famous Scots - Sir Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) Born at Lochfield Farm near Darvel, in Ayrshire, Fleming moved to London when he was 13, after the death of his father. He worked as a shipping clerk for five years and then became a medical student at St Mary's in Paddington, part of London University. He was a brilliant student and after graduation he joined the bacteriology lab at St Mary's, under Almroth Wright. During the First World War, Fleming saw at first hand the failure of current antiseptics to treat infected wounds and after the war he returned to St Mary's to find a solution to the problem. Initially, he developed the use of antityphoid vaccines and discovered lysozyme which had some limited use as a food preservative. In 1928 he discovered that a culture of staphylococcus bacteria had been accidentally infected by an airborne mould which had destroyed the bacteria. This was to transform the treatment of infected wounds with penicillin. The difficulties of developing the fragile substance commercially meant that it took 15 years before it could be produced in large quantities but two Oxford biochemists Howard Florey and Ernst Chan succeeded. Initial supplies were used exclusively by the armed forces and undoubtedly saved thousands of lives. Fleming was knighted in 1944 and Fleming, Florey and Chan received the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1945. Fleming did not patent penicillin, hoping that this would help to develop the product as a cheap and effective drug.

What Goes Around . . . Claim: The father of Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, saved a young Winston Churchill from drowning. In gratitude, Churchill's father paid for Fleming's education. Status: False. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1999] His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.

Last updated: 25.05.2001 14:30:58 Sir Alexander Fleming byl skotský mikrobiolog, žijící v letech 1881 - 1955. V roce 1928 uveøejnil zprávu o vlivu filtrátu z askomycety Penicilinum notatum na zastavení rùstu kultur mikrobù. Na využití objevu pracovalo za druhé svìtové války nìkolik desítek vìdeckých týmù biochemikù a lékaøù z USA a Velké Británie. Po izolaci látky byly provedeny základní pokusy na zvíøatech i lidech a byla zajištìna výroba prvního antibiotika. Zjistilo se pøitom, že jde o nìkolik látek s podobnou základní strukturou. Byly odlišeny jako penicilín F, G, K, H, V aj.
