- Abstract:
It discusses the history of penicillin, an antibiotic discovered by Scottish microbiologist in 1928 in London, England. It notes that scientists working on antivirals can learn from penicillin's history about preparing for disappointment, setbacks, and obscurity on the way to finding a drug that works in a human being. It also indicates that the scientists who are working on antivirals today may not be the ones who find that drug.
