Antibiotics are substances which in low concentration inhibit the growth of micro-organisms. The first antibiotic to be discovered was penicillin. It was derived from fungus, Pencillium notatum. The credit for the discover, isolation and large scale production goes to Fleming, Florey and Chain who jointly received Noble Prize (1945) for this great achievement in medical sciences. Due to these antibiotics many critical diseases of the past like T.B , leprosy and anthrax etc, have been controlled successfully.
