More from Alexander Fleming
"The mould was very interesting. I cultured it and found it produced a powerful antibacterial substance. It was very effective against staphylococci and other Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria."
"I never sought fame or fortune, only to contribute to human knowledge."
"It is a wonderful thing to be able to save lives with a simple substance."
"The greatest tragedy is the misuse of a good thing."
"The accidental contamination of my cultures by a mold was not an unusual event in a bacteriological laboratory. What was unusual was my decision to investigate the mold."
