Antimicrobial Resistance: The Small World Initiative
Abstract
As we continue to dive into the crazy world of microbiology, fittingly during a COVID-19 pandemic continuing to encase our world with fear, uncertainly and isolation. Continuing our quest for new antibiotic-producing bacteria, brings me , at least, with a better understanding, but more importantly with hope. I was able to plate specimens on a simple agar plate from soil and from there i chose one that stood out and possibly had antibiotic properties. I choose the specimen that was yellow, looked bump in aspects and was much defined. I test the specimen Staphlylococcus epidermis and Esherichia coli because they are common infectious bacteria, After the results from the pick and patch test, I characterized mt selected bacterium using a list of stains, fermentation tests, selective and differential medias, enzymes productions, nutrient utilization and antibiotic susceptibility testing that we place the specimen against.
