Description
I am searching this to find different bacteria against antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem that affects the lives of many, making it difficult to treat a variety diseases and infections. I collected a soil sample from my front yard that has microbes that present potential inhibition against eskape relatives. Eskape relatives are related to eskape pathogens that are very common in our environments.Therefore testing the relative will be a safer way to find candidates that fight against those pathogens. I have screened and identified potential candidates through metabolic and genetic approaches. Hopefully this research can help find a new antibiotic and help with new methods and locations for the research.
