Description
This semester in microbiology we have been gathering soil samples to isolate different strains of bacteria in hopes to find new antibiotics against safe relative strains of ESKAPE pathogens. By isolating a colony that has shown a zone of inhibition against safe relative Acinetobacter Baylyi , colony #8, I am able to perform PCR and get results on the genetic makeup of colony #8. The results of this show how to create antibiotics against this safe relative and can possibly help to create an antibiotic against its relative who is highly resistant to antibiotics, Acinetobacter baumannii.
