Description
Like Natasha Bedingfield once said in her hit, “Unwritten”, release your inhibitions! As antibiotics are taken, immunity grows in our system. This is why it is incredibly important to discover new antibiotics. The goal of antibiotic research is to find a zone of inhibition within a bacterial screening. The bacteria, named “Holden”, which was collected from a soil sample in Lenexa, Kansas, shows a resistance to the safe relative Acinetobacter baylyi. This was concluded through a series of serial dilutions, master plates, six different antibiotic screenings, and more.
