Abstract


   

Elizabethkineamiricolais a bacterium that was found on the Mir Space Station. It is oppotunistic, and is resistant to several antibiotics, (Green et al, 2008). This resistance is founded on the presense of multiple genes. Doctor Canaan’s team along with a group of undergrad students (Group 7) investigated genes suspected of providing resistance. For Group 7, Bla_1819 did code for resistance. This was secured through replication of genes, insertion into vecotrs, and then using tiles to color test for presence of betalactamase resistance.
