Abstract
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a bacteria prevalent in nature. The Elizabethkingia spp. has two other discovered species: E. anopheles, and E. miricola. This genus of bacteria has been known to contribute to meningitis in humans. Little is known about the genome of this genus, and in this experiment we investigate which genes in Elizabethkingia meningoseptica contribute to antibiotic resistance. Through PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA ligation and transformation we inserted a specific E. meningoseptica gene into E. coli and tested the bacteria for antibiotic resistance.
