Who invented penicillin?

Strictly speaking nobody invented it, as the active ingredient is derived from naturally occuring organisms.

Duchesne

We weren't squabbling - Zippy actually agreed with me!

The first link agrees with the card. The second link looks like a 5 year old did the web site.

Too early for a stewards enquiry.

Alexander Fleming is the answer I have on the card.

Boys turn, more tomorrow.



Edit : linky

Ernest Duchesne (May 30, 1874 – April 12, 1912) was a French physician who noted that certain moulds kill bacteria. He made this discovery thirty-two years before Alexander Fleming discovered the antibiotic properties of penicillin, a substance derived from those moulds, but his research went unnoticed.

Interesting and I have learned something but I have to go what is written on the card in the interests of fairness.

Old news my friend. There has been one contentious question per side so things are level.

Makes it exciting though.

The answer says "discovered". Maybe the question was wrong.
