Description
Antibiotic resistance is a significant problem only getting worse. Putting everyone at risk due to bacteria resisting medication, causing a global health crisis. This semester’s research is working to help discover new kinds of bacteria that can be used to fight against antibiotic resistance. The research also aids in bringing in more students to become researchers and understand why this is important. While the species of bacteria being researched and experimented on is still currently unknown. It has shown zones of inhibition to multiple safe relatives of ESKAPE pathogens, such as Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pseudomonas putida. These safe relative pathogens are used to study the species of bacteria and see if it has any antibiotic qualities. While also staying safe from ESKAPE pathogens and not spreading disease in a classroom setting. This could point to this bacterial species being able to be used in more research going forward. And to combat the struggle against antibiotic resistance only growing more prevalent throughout the world.
