This week, we continue the you the history of Penicillin. In part 2, we talk about all the other players involved with its discovery, from rediscovering Fleming's paper to mass production during WWII. We even ask the question: does Fleming deserve the amount of recognition for this antibiotic, or were others more instrumental in the development of this drug. 

Much of the information provided is from the book Alexander Fleming The Man and The Myth by Gwyn Macfarlane.
