Description
Antibiotic Resistance is on the rise. Scientists around the globe are searching for new antibiotics that have yet to be discovered. It is extremely important that this research has many participants in order to get as much data as possible. I have taken a soil sample from Greenbrier Apartments to do further testing on. In my research, I have found a few potential candidates that created zones of inhibition against our ESKAPE relatives. I have decided to move forward with one of my candidates named “KRP 3", which may have the potential to be the next lifesaving antibiotic.
