Biologist Alexander Fleming was in such a hurry to rest that he left a bunch of dirty Petri dishes piled in the sink in his laboratory. When he returned from vacation on September 3, 1928, he noticed a Cup with a culture of Staphylococcus – it turned out that it was all covered with colonies of bacteria, except for one place where there was a piece of mold. So quite by chance he learned that penicillin can kill bacteria. Thanks to sloppiness, people got one of the most widely used antibiotics.

Биолог Александр Флеминг так спешил на отдых, что оставил кучу грязных чашек петри, сваленных в раковине в своей лаборатории. Когда он вернулся из отпуска 3 сентября 1928 года, то обратил внимание на чашку с культурой стафилококка – оказалось, что она вся была покрыта колониями бактерий, за исключением одного места, где был кусочек плесени. Так совершенно случайно он узнал, что пенициллин может убивать бактерии. Благодаря разгильдяйству, люди получили один из самых широко используемых антибиотиков.
