Description
In this study, soil samples from two locations were diluted and cultured in a lab setting to identify candidate microorganisms that are effective against the tester strain of ESKAPE pathogen's safe relatives. After screenings against such pathogens, two microorganisms were isolated as candidates. Polymerase Chain Reaction and gel electrophoresis were performed to identify the 16s rRNA gene, followed by DNA sequencing at a separate facility.
