INTRODUCTION

Penicillin is really a big help for us human in terms of treating infection and diseases caused by bacteria. Because of different properties that penicillin has, it makes penicillin almost a "miracle drug" (Moore, 1998). Because of penicillin, bacteria that happened to be deadly before arent so deadly nowadays. There are many diseases that today seem trivial and non lethal that treated with the use of penicillin such as minor wounds that would get infected. Penicillin is practically an ideal antibiotic.

RELATED LITERATURE Sir Alexander Fleming was the one who discovered Penicillin in 1928 at St. Marys Hospital in England. Penicillin is used to treat Bacterial diseases, animal bites and wounds and STD's. Penicillin
was named after the fungus Penicillium notatum. Sir Alexander Fleming stopped research on penicillin in 1931 because he did not beleive that it could be used to kill bacteria in the human body. In 1939 Howard Walter Florey and a team of researchers at Oxford University made significant progress in showing Penicillin's ability to kill infectious bacteria which eventually led to commercial production of penicillin.
