Description
The focus of this research is to test a soil sample against ESKAPE pathogens safe relatives to see if any of them create a zone of inhibition.Throughout this research there will be multiple different procedures. Collecting soil, diluting the soil, creating a master plate with each sample, testing each colony from the sample against each ESKAPE pathogen safe relative, identifying a positive candidate, creating a streak plate with that candidate, staining to see whether the candidate is gram negative or gram positive.
