tRNA& Its Affects on Antibiotic Resistance

Abstract

In this experiment, we conducted research on a bacteria known as Elizabethkingia anophelis. This bacteria is known to cause meningitis and has had many outbreaks, occurring primarily in Michigan. To begin our research, we explored the online database RAST where we found RNA genes consisting on the same pathway. Using these genes we could then determine the amount of transcription that occurred when compared to two known antibiotics. Using our results, we determined if the change in transcription was significant.
