Description
Antibiotic resistance is becoming a major problem worldwide, as more bacteria are becoming resistant to the antibiotics we use to treat infections. My research focuses on finding bacteria from soil samples that produce antibiotics as a possible solution to this growing issue. With antibiotic resistance on the rise, it's important to explore new ways to treat infections. I am working to identify and isolate bacteria from soil that can produce natural antibiotics. Through lab experiments, I aim to discover bacteria that can produce substances capable of stopping the growth of resistant bacteria. This research is important because it could lead to the development of new antibiotics, which would help fight infections that current antibiotics can't treat. Discovering new antibiotics from natural sources could provide a long-term solution to the problem of antibiotic resistance.
