Description
In society today there is a growing concern for the increase in antibiotic resistance among microbials. It is because of this concern that there has been a push for more research, and experimentation to find antimicrobials and discover new antibiotics. In my personal experimentation I collected a soil sample for further testing. I conducted research to select a specific candidate from my sample, and began running further tests. This testing included serial dilutions, antibiotic screenings, PCR, and gel electrophoresis. Through these experiments I was able to explore the results of my microbials in the hopes of obtaining more knowledge of antibiotic research, and resistance, and ultimately to discover antimicrobials that could aid in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
