07 July 1928 - BEST THING EVER, AS SLICED BREAD IS SOLD FOR FIRST TIME: Missouri's Chillicothe Baking Company offers up packages of 'Kleen Maid Sliced Bread,' thanks to Otto Rohwedder's invention, a machine that cuts loaves of bread into uniform slices. Hailed as a great advance, sliced bread will be banned for a time in 1943 as a wartime extravagance.

28 September 1928 - BACTERIA FINALLY, AND ACCIDENTALLY, MEET THEIR
MATCH: On his return from vacation, Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming
finds a staphylococci culture has been sullied by a mold that is
destroying the bacteria. With this accidental discovery, Fleming has
found penicillin, an antibiotic that will change the world and save
countless lives.

The discovery of penicillin, one of the worldrCOs first antibiotics, marks
a true turning point in human history - when doctors finally had a tool
that could completely cure their patients of deadly infectious diseases.

Many school children can recite the basics. Penicillin was discovered in
London in September of 1928. As the story goes, Dr. Alexander Fleming,
the bacteriologist on duty at St. MaryrCOs Hospital, returned from a
summer vacation in Scotland to find a messy lab bench and a good deal
more.

Upon examining some colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, Dr. Fleming noted
that a mold called Penicillium notatum had contaminated his Petri
dishes. After carefully placing the dishes under his microscope, he was
amazed to find that the mold prevented the normal growth of the
staphylococci.

It took Fleming a few more weeks to grow enough of the persnickety mold
so that he was able to confirm his findings. His conclusions turned out
to be phenomenal: there was some factor in the Penicillium mold that not
only inhibited the growth of the bacteria but, more important, might be harnessed to combat infectious diseases.

As Dr. Fleming famously wrote about that red-letter date: "When I woke
up just after dawn on September 28, 1928, I certainly didnrCOt plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the worldrCOs first antibiotic,
or bacteria killer. But I guess that was exactly what I did."

Fourteen years later, in March 1942, Anne Miller became the first
civilian patient to be successfully treated with penicillin, lying near
death at New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, after miscarrying and
developing an infection that led to blood poisoning.
