Description
Soil taken from Little Blue Place Park was diluted to identify any bacterium with antibiotic qualities. Out of the four possible candidates only one was able to inhibit any SAFE pathogens – relatives of more dangerous bacteria, ESKAPE pathogens. Candidate named “Paen” is able to inhibit SAFE pathogens Klebsiella aerogenes and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
