Beta-lactamase In a Specific Genomic Sequence From Elizabethkingia anophelisR26

Abstract

Elizabethkingia anophelis, is a bacteria found heavily in the environment which but has been known to rarely make people sick. In this lab, we specifically looked at the genes contained in the Elizabethkingia anophelis R26 strand that were related to Beta-lactamase. Through data research, we were able to narrow down the production of beta-lactamase in the R26 strand and we were also able to determine how specific antibiotics were able to affect the production of the Beta-lactamase related genes.
