Description
In efforts of finding more antibiotics for the crisis we are in, our microbiology laboratory department class is all conducting experiments in finding new antibiotics. As of today, we have the luxury to cure many patients with bacterial infections through the use of antibiotics. However, in many situations, antibiotics are being over-prescribed and or misused, yet we don’t have many types of antibiotics to treat every infection effectively. Therefore, many patients are becoming antibiotic resistant meaning the effective antibiotics are now not operating correctly and effectively due to misuse and overuse of the antibiotics. So in the efforts of my research, I have one potential candidate that is still being researched. I will conclude my research this upcoming April 2023 and will have my research open to the public for further research.
