Fleming did not invent penicillin, he discovered it by accident when it ruined an experiment he was doing trying to culture bacteria. It took many others and the expediency of wartime emergency funding to invent the technologies needed to mass produce penicillin as a drug.
Many later antibiotics related to penicillin were later invented in labs, but penicillin is not anyone's invention as it is a natural substance made by a type of fungus.
We don't actually know because he only found it when he got back from a holiday!

What did sir Alexander discovered?
In 1928, Fleming was working on the staphylococcibacteria - the kind that cause boils and sore throats, when, whilst he was examining some old bacterial plates that he noticed a mould had grown on one of his cultures. He saw what he believed was unusual in that some of the colonies of staphylococci that should have been growing near the mould had disappeared. Fleming thought that the mould could be making something that was capable of destroying the bacteria. He did some more experiments and found that this was indeed the case. He cultured the mould by growing it in broth. The mould was later identified as Penicillium notatum which had produced what we now call penicillin.
