A British doctor, Joseph Lister, knew that infection was caused by germs. In his hospital doctors started to wear special white clothes. In 1928 a British scientist Alexander Fleming worked in his laboratory at St Mary's Medical School. With the help of his microscope he studied some green mould and saw that it killed the germs, which were near it. In 1941 Henry Florey and Ernst Chain from Oxford found a cheaper way to make the medicine and it saved millions of people. In 1945 the three men got a Nobel Prize for their work.
