Anmerkungen
Norman 800: "The only book that Fleming prepared regarding his discovery of the antibiotic properties of penicillin". In his introduction Fleming explains his inability to write an entire book on the subject i.a. on the grounds of his being a laboratory worker, unable "to place penicillin therapy in its proper perspective relative to other forms of medical and surgical treatment in a great variety of conditions". Fleming contributed 2 chapters to the book.
