Testing for the Expression of Different Genes in the Presence of Antibiotics in Elizabethkingia Anophelis

Abstract

As a group we found and briefly defined a pathway of genes found in Elizabethkingia anophelis R26. The pathway of genes we found were under the Cobalt-Zinc-Cadmium Resistance. In addition to defining these genes we also found their DNA sequences. After having this information we decided to then look at each individual gene’s RNA sequence and we recorded the transcription pattern for each of the genes in each the conditions given. The three antibiotics or conditions given were Cefotax, Imipenem, and control. After analyzing the information we just collected, we had to decide what these significant increase or decrease in numbers, depending on the condition given, meant.
