- Originally it was thought that antibiotics were first discovered were in 1928 but it was recently found that around 550 BC tetracycline was found in the bones of skeletons in ancient Eygpt. This was the sign that the first antibiotics were much earlier than we thought.
- Now what was originally thought of the discovery of antibiotics was in 1926 by a Scottish biologist by the name Alexander Fleming. His discovery was apparently an accident when he left the petri dish of bacteria by the open window this left mold to inhibited the bacteria this type of fungi would later be known as penicillin which we have right here. This was the start to the modern era of antibiotics
