Fleming‚ a young Scottish research scientist with a profitable side practice treating the syphilis infections of prominent London artists‚ was pursuing his pet theory--that his own nasal mucus had antibacterial effects--when he left a culture plate smeared with Staphylococcus bacteria on his lab bench while he went on a two-week holiday. When he returned‚ he noticed a clear halo surrounding the yellow-green growth of a mold that had accidentally contaminated the plate. Unknown to him‚ a spore of

History of microorganisms’ discovery Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the one of the first people to observe microorganisms‚ and used a microscope of his own design‚ and made one of the most important contributions to biology. [18] Robert Hooke was the first to use a microscope to observe living things; his 1665 book Micrographia contained descriptions of plant cells. Before Leeuwenhoek’s discovery of microorganisms in 1675‚ it had been a mystery why grapes could be turned into wine‚ milk into cheese

In the field of science‚ new discoveries are being made every day. Even though scientists are finding new things every day‚ over 99% of bacteria or antibiotics aren’t discovered. However‚ recently a new antibiotic called teixobactin was discovered. This antibiotic prevents the synthesis of a cell wall by binding to a motif of lipid II and lipid III molecules. The goal of this experiment was to discover how teixobactin interact with bacteria and how it is able to effectively kill pathogens. A device

Anthrax is a lethal disease that is caused by gram-positive‚ rod-shaped bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. Many researchers believe that this disease originated in Egypt and Mesopotamia in 1250 BC. However‚ there were also other regions during this time period who were acquainted with anthrax‚ such as Ancient Greece and Rome. Many illustrations and ancient writings by famous scholars of those times depicted this disease. For example‚ the author Homer illustrated anthrax in his poem Illiad from
