Description
Over the past thirty years new antibiotic strains have gotten increasingly difficult to find, and with a contrasting increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria, the need to discover new antibiotic strains is becoming more and more important. And with the majority of bacteria existing in the soil, my experiment took 1 gram of soil and through dilution, tested against a bacterial candidate against different relatives of common pathogens in the hopes of seeing whether said candidate would show antibiotic resistance.
