Alexander Fleming Quotes

In My First Publication I Might Have Claimed That I Had Come To The Conclusion, As A Result Of Serious Study Of The Literature And Deep Thought, That Valuable Antibacterial Substances Were Made By Moulds And That I Set Out To Investigate The Problem. That Would Have Been Untrue And I Preferred To Tell The Truth That Penicillin Started As A Chance Observation. My Only Merit Is That I Did Not Neglect The Observation And That I Pursued The Subject As A Bacteriologist. My Publication In 1929 Was The Starting-point Of The Work Of Others Who Developed Penicillin Especially In The Chemical Field.
