What are the specifics of the fierce interactions between bacteria and antibiotics? These questions can only be answered by following the process of bacteria…

With the introduction of antibiotics in animal feeds, it allowed farm owners to produce high-quality animals…

test to figure out what kind of infection the children had and then identify the antibiotic that would best treat the infection or if they were antibiotic-resistant bacteria. For this experiment, my hypothesis is that both culture’s A and B will not be antibiotic-resistant and will have at least one antibiotic that will be able to treat the infections. The null hypothesis is that culture’s A and B will be antibiotic-resistant. In the experiment, we started off by sterilizing a loop over a…
