Description
Antibiotic resistance is an issue that has been becoming more prevalent in society. There are only a handful of antibiotics that are known in the pharmacological world and neither are pharmaceutical companies investing in the discovery of more. Therefore, in order to attempt discovery of something that can save many people from illness, I studied a soil sample from a trail near my house where I was able to screen potential candidates. After starting with 12 candidates and doing further research, I narrowed my attention to my candidate, Capricorn. With screening this candidate against E.S.K.A.P.E safe relatives and further examining the structure of this candidate, I present the capabilities Capricorn has that may improve the pharmaceutical world.
