Production of antibiotics is a naturally occurring event, that thanks to advances in science can now be replicated and improved upon in laboratory settings. Due to the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming, and the efforts of Florey and Chain in 1938, large-scale, pharmaceutical production of antibiotics has been made possible.

For example, the article about John Franklin Enders [1195] has the sentence "Alexander Fleming's [1077] penicillin was available thanks to the work of Howard Florey [1213] and Ernst Boris Chain [1306] . . ." This allows one to quickly refer to the articles about Fleming, Florey, and Chain.
Chain had wanted to apply for a patent but Florey had objected, arguing that penicillin should benefit all. [78] Florey sought the advice of Sir Henry Dale , the chairman of the Wellcome Trust and a member of the Scientific Advisory Panel to the British Cabinet , and John William Trevan, the director of the Wellcome Trust Research Laboratory.
