In 1928, Alexander Fleming returned from vacation to find a contaminated bacterial culture in his messy laboratory. Instead of discarding this ruined experiment, Fleming noticed something extraordinary: a mold was preventing bacterial growth. This chance observation led to the discovery of penicillin, launching the antibiotic era and saving hundreds of millions of lives. Ezra Wade explores how Fleming's observational skills, scientific background, and fortunate timing transformed a laboratory accident into one of medicine's greatest breakthroughs, forever changing our relationship with bacterial infection and revolutionizing modern healthcare.
