In 1928, Alexander Fleming left a petri dish uncovered by accident and returned to find something extraordinary: a mold that could kill bacteria. But the real story of penicillin isn't about one eureka moment—it's about a decade of failed experiments, a desperate wartime race, and the unlikely team of scientists who turned Fleming's moldy dish into the drug that would save more lives than any other in human history.
