In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming left a petri dish in his lab while he was on vacation—only to return and find that some liquid around the mold had killed the bacteria in the dish. This became the world’s first antibiotic, but before naming it penicillin, he called it “mold juice.”
"Mold juice" to penicillin is quite the transformation! It’s amazing how a simple oversight led to such a groundbreaking discovery.
Who knew a little mold juice could become a life-saving antibiotic?
