Description
In response to the increasing amount of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, these series of experiments are an effort to search for the next new antibiotic that could change the direction of this current crisis. Overall, it would appear that any new antibiotic will not be found in this effort. The potential candidates gathered showed some inhibiting properties in the beginning. However, further along the experimental process the candidates’ potential has dwindled or ceased altogether. Now it is a matter of determining what did not work from my experiment’s results in order to further the antibiotic search.
