    Discovered penicillin

    Explanation:

    Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin in 1928. He left dirty petri dishes in his laboratory. When he did clean them, he discovered a mold growth, and around this mold, no bacteria were present. There were bacteria in other regions, but none around the growth. He then knew that he discovered an antibiotic: penicillin.

    He received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 for his findings. Today, penicillin is used to fight bacterial infections such as pneumonia.
