He went to a small school in a village, and when he left school, he did not go to university. He worked for five years in an office. But his brother, Tom, was a doctor and helped Fleming to go to university and study medicine. So, he went to London University and in 1906 he became a doctor. In 1915, Fleming married Sarah McElroy, an Irish woman. They had one son. Fleming worked as a doctor in the First World War (1914-1918). During the war, many soldiers died in hospital because they did not have the right medicines. So, after the war, Fleming tried to find a drug that could help them. He worked for many years and in 1928 he discovered a new drug. It was the first antibiotic and he called it “penicillin”. He later worked with an Australian and a German scientist to develop a drug that doctors could use. In 1945, they won the Noble Prize in medicine for their work on penicillin. 1.
