An expert on our field

One of the experts in my area of ​​health that I admire is Alexander Fleming. He was born in Scotland in 1881 and was a very famous British scientist because of two great discoveries.

He worked as a microbiologist at the St. Mary's Hospital in London in the department of inoculations in the improvement and manufacture of vaccines or injections and serums. 

It is important to mention that his discoveries were accidental, the first occurred because mucosities from a sneeze fell into a bacterial culture, where a time later he observed that the bacteria had been destroyed, in this way he discovered in the antimicrobial enzyme lysozyme. His second discovery was thanks to his disorder in the laboratory. He observed the growth of a fungus as a contaminant in a bacterial culture that with the passage of days resulted in bacterial death, with which he discovered the antibiotic penicillin. These discoveries led him to win the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.

This scientist is relevant to me because although his discoveries have been an accident, his power of observation and intuition highlight the great scientist who was, in addition that his contribution to science have transcended in time to the present day.
