llofnod

Ei ddarganfyddiadau pwysicaf yw ensymau a lysosymau yn 1923 a'r sylwedd gwrthfiotig adnabyddus hwnnw: penicilin o'r llwydni Penicillium notatum yn 1928. Rhannodd Wobr Nobel gyda Howard Florey a Ernst Boris Chain^[1] yn 1945.

Yn 1999, rhestrodd y cylchgrawn Time Fleming fel un o'r 100 person pwysicaf yn yr 20g gan ddweud:

It was a discovery that would change the course of history. The active ingredient, fungi, which Fleming named penicillin, turned out to be an infection-fighting agent of enormous potency. When it was finally recognized for what it was, the most efficacious life-saving drug in the world, penicillin would alter forever the treatment of bacterial infections. By the middle of the century, Fleming's discovery had spawned a huge pharmaceutical industry, churning out synthetic penicillins that would conquer some of mankind's most ancient scourges, including syphilis, gangrene and tuberculosis.^[2]
