Description
This project as made for the search of antibiotics, resulted by the increase and threat of antibiotics resistance. The search started in Overland Park, KS, where a soil sample was collected. This sample was serially diluted with water and placed on agar plates. 4 candidates were first chosen, and then were screened against ESKAPE pathogen relatives. Some inhibition was shown on the Pseudomonas putida by candidate #1, and on the Staphylococcus epidermis screening plate by candidate #4. This resulted in the battle of the last two candidates. After more screening and experimentation, candidate #1 was chosen as the top candidate for inhibition. It was then found to be a Gram + spore formulating rod bacteria.
