Description

Abstract:: Multidrug resistant (MDR) infections are a leading cause of death in underdeveloped countries. With guidance from Tiny Earth, an education program aiming to address the antibiotic resistance crisis, we characterized microbial communities in vegetative versus fallow beds within standard greenhouse conditions. Evidence supports our hypothesis that there are more antibiotic producing microbes and a greater diversity of microbes within vegetative beds due to their constant competition for resources and interacting evolutionary forces. Our results suggest promising future experiments to nail down these novel antibiotic resistant microbes.
