Have a severe fever? Like cold? Causes to live in the cave but do not have the chance to stop? Normal medicine is not working at all? There is no fear Do not have antibiotics! After playing 5 or 7 days of the rules, the body of the genus is left with the body. Even a few years ago people believed in 'no protection on tuberculosis'. now? Tuberculosis is again a disease! These are just a few common diseases. Apart from all the other major diseases (except for life-threatening diseases, which have not been discovered till date), the name of the epitome of salvation is called penicillin or which we call antibiotics. Since the discovery, the drug is saving millions of people every year around the world. The name of the physician who discovered this life-saving antibiotic was Alexander Fleming. Today is her 136th birthday. So let's take a brief look at his life on this day.

Birth and childhood

Alexander Fleming was born on August 6, 1861 in Darvell, Scotland, a small town. Both parents were children of agricultural families. When Fleming was seven years old, his father Hugh Fleming died. Faced with financial problems, Fleming's mother Grace Sterling was very careful in her son's education.
Alexander was admitted to a local school at the age of six. The Louden Moore is in school at the start of his academic career. Two years later he was admitted to Darwall School, which was 8 miles away from his house. And the child Fleming walked the path every day! At the age of 11, the school authorities sent him to Kilmeranak Academy for his extraordinary merit. He studied there for two years.
After finishing the study of Kilmeran, Fleming left for London. 13-year-old teenager admitted to Fleming Polytechnic School. There he started studying business education and commerce. But his teachers quickly realized that Alexander Fleming was not a general student. When the same boys eat well enough to understand, Fleming would have felt as easy as water. The teachers saw that Fleming went ahead of his peers in his intellectual minds. Then he was admitted to the same class with two years older students! Think about it once, when you were just admitted to the eighth grade, then you were picked up from class to class. How will you be? Fleming is nothing but nothing. At the age of 16, he went out of school with ease.

Fleming in medical college

Fleming had no own siblings. There were 4 honest siblings. The eldest brother, Thomas Fleming, was a very successful doctor. Alexander Fleming began to dream of becoming like his brother. When Fleming was 20 years old, he inherited some money from his uncle John Fleming. On the other hand, he also did not have much difficulty in getting education because of his education in business. To get to the medical college, many examinations had to be passed. Fleming was not just passed, the highest number of British medical admission tests in history!
In 1903, 22-year-old Alexander Fleming was admitted to St. Mary's Medical College in London. His MBBS education ended in 1906. He started researching bacteriology in the Department of Immunology of the same Medical College. In 1908, he finished his graduation with a gold medal in Bacteriology. Fleming was appointed as a professor of bacteriology at St. Mary's Medical College. In the same year married a woman named Sarah. Although at the end of his life, Fleming married for the second time (after the death of his first wife Sarah in 1949). Fleming, who had a last-minute marriage with his own research partner, Emilia Bhurake.

Antiseptic research and lysosomal discovery

During World War I, Fleming was appointed to France as captain of the Royal Army Medical Corps. He continued his research as well as continued treatment of injured soldiers. He proved that these can only be antiseptic for small lesions. But the use of them in deep guts has killed many soldiers.
In 1919, Alexander Fleming returned to London and started studying the nostrils in St. Mary. In this study, he invented a new bacteria called 'microkkkus luteus'. During this time, Fleming's and cold go. As soon as he was surprised to see the ghost, he noticed that with the reading of mucus, the bacteria have been destroyed!
After observing Fleming for a few days, he decided that every single fluid contained a common enzyme for which bacteria were dying. Fleming named the enzyme Lysosemeim. Lysosemia is the natural preserver of our body, which protects against certain bacteria and viruses. But most of the strong germs are able to penetrate the defense walls of lysosemes.

Revolutionary discoveries of penicillin

In August 1928, Fleming went on a one-month family vacation. While leaving, he forgot to keep some stethylchakus admission petridges properly. In addition, his lab associate forgot to close the window of his room. As a result, in one month open petradesis came home and came home and there is no estimate of how many organisms are formed. Fleming was upset about himself and his assistant. He would go throwing petrides and then suddenly his eyes were found to be strange. He noticed that all of the bacteria of Petridi were dead and there was a fungus born there. And this was one of the most revolutionary discoveries in the history of medical science.
Fleming's got a new idea in mind. He understood that he had discovered a more advanced natural antibiotic than lysozyam. Fleming began researching the fungus day and night. Studies show that fungus is a species of penicillium. Out of this, a type of fluid emerges that destroys bacteria. On 7 March 1929 Fleming named this germicidal fluid as 'penicillin'.
Fleming, the pioneer in the study of penicillin, achieves breakthrough success. In his study on penicillin he revealed that penicillin is not harmful to any anatomical organism and it is able to prevent deadly lethal diseases like scarlet fever, meningitis, diphtheria and pneumoniae (in the period of time).

Fleming was facing some problems even after penicillin was discovered. The chief among them is that he could not separate penicillin more from fungus. Moreover, the effectiveness of direct penicillin is greatly reduced. Works very slowly. Fleming could not understand how penicillin can be applied to human body as microbial resistant.
In 1940, a group of scientists at the University of Oxford, pharmacolyogist floor and under the leadership of the biochemist chain, made penicillin as medicine. In 1945, Fleming jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Flowers and Chains. He was awarded the knighthood in the first year and by the name of his sir, the word 'sir' Self-propaganda Fleming became very popular with the public. Wherever you go, you have received outstanding honor. American chemical companies give him a million dollar reward in his honor. He donated the prize money to Saint Mary, where he became a real researcher.
