Description
Science is constantly evolving and new discoveries are being made, but the one issue scientists have not overcome is antibiotic resistant pathogens. Pathogens that are antibiotic resistant are a huge issue in the medical world and receptive pathogens are even more important. With the research that has been completed, I am trying to find a pathogenic fighting antibiotic in a soil sample. There were several methods used to get closer to the solution. Soil sample collection, candidate selection, PCR and more were performed. The candidate that was selected for this research was SK22A that came from a Kansas River soil sample and showed great growth. The reason for this is because it showed great bacterial growth that could be used to examine. The growth that was apparent was colonies that were isolating themselves and killing off the ESKAPE relative. The results that come from this research are very important for potentially new antibiotic resistant pathogens and a breakthrough in science.
