Abstract

Elizabethkingiamiricolaisolated from the Mir space station and causes human disease(2). We took a putitive antibiotic resistance gene and pcramplified it and cloned  the DNA to study it and determine if it is a bata lactamase gene. After intensive research we found our specific gene was not a bata lactamase gene.
