Translationin Elizabethkingia anophelis R26

Abstract

Elizabethkingia anophelis is a slightly yellow, non-motile, non-spore-forming, Gram negative rod. It was originally found in the gut of mosquitos, with the first outbreaks happening in Singapore and Central Africa. Following these cases E. anophelis been found to be resistant to most drugs. During our research we found twenty two genes that were responsible for translation. This is extremely relevant as Translation is the process in which cellular ribosomes create proteins.
