Description
Common infectious diseases and the decrease of effective antibiotics has contributed to an advance in finding new antibiotic producing bacteria that is from soil. Previous research that has been done is no longer sufficient to treat the mutated pathogens that have become resistant to antibiotics today. Antibiotics that we use today were from soils discovered from different areas. I have conducted extensive scientific investigation undergoing the screening of plates against safe relative pathogens, various staining techniques, use of polymerase chain reaction programs, gel electrophoresis, DNA sequencing, and many more analytical methods. My candidate Morgan #5 is a convex, smooth, round bacteria that inhibits growth to some but not all opposing bacteria. M5 is spore and gram-negative bacteria that inhibits Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Pseudomonas putida, and Staphylococcus epidermis. M5 is likely to be a strong competitor against antibiotic resistant pathogens but could be stronger.
